Node:Invoking abc2ly, Next:Invoking pmx2ly, Previous:Invoking etf2ly, Up:Converting from other formats Invoking abc2lyABC is a fairly simple ASCII based format. It is described at the abc site: http://www.gre.ac.uk/~c.walshaw/abc2mtex/abc.txtabc2ly translates from ABC to LilyPond. It is invoked as follows: abc2ly [option]... abc-file The following options are supported by abc2ly:
There is a rudimentary facility for adding lilypond code to the ABC source file. If you say: %%LY voices \property Voice.autoBeaming=##f This will cause the text following the keyword "voices" to be inserted into the current voice of the lilypond output file. Similarly: %%LY slyrics more words will cause the text following the "slyrics" keyword to be inserted into the current line of lyrics. BUGS The ABC standard is not very "standard". For extended features (eg. polyphonic music) different conventions exist. Multiple tunes in one file cannot be converted. ABC synchronizes words and notes at the beginning of a line; abc2ly does not. abc2ly ignores the ABC beaming. |
