Re: ABC Converter?
I have been using ABCExplorer for years. It's freeware designed by a French guy. Designed for Windows XP, it runs fine on my Windows 10 computer. Edit, play, transpose, print PDFs, JPGS, and other image formats, convert to MIDI, it does about all you could want. You can print individual tunes or massive tune collections. I use it to collect tunes into tune books, including those for local slow jams, contra pick-up bands, MBOTMA festivals, albums I like, ginormous collections of ganglats and hambos because I had never heard of those before, you name it. Plus, there are huge collections of traditional music from across the planet in ABC format, just waiting for you to download and play. If you don't read notation, just have the program play it for you, whatever tempo you want, any key you want, with or without repeats. It's a very, very powerful and flexible program costing exactly $0. I'm sure whatever follows Windows 10 will kill it dead, then I'll set up VirtualBox to run XP or Windows 7 just to keep ABCExplorer going.
