select [tune_index_list | regular_expression]

Select a subset of tunes to be displayed/printed in ABC files.

The tune_index_list works with abcm2ps only. It is a comma separated list of tune indexes. Each selector applies to the next tunes of the current ABC file. A tune number may be:

• a single index value as indicated in the 'X:' field
• a range of such values.
  A range is indicated as first_index "-" [last_index]. The last index may be omitted meaning 'last tune of file'.

The regular_expression applies to all items in the nexttune headers. An empty %%select selects all the remaining tunes.

Command line examples:

	abcm2ps voices.abc -e 1,3-5 newfeatures.abc -e5-
	abcm2ps sample2.abc -eclefs voices.abc -e 'K:C$'

ABC file example:

	%%select C:.*Bach
	%%abc-include voices.abc
	%%abc-include sample5.abc

Note: When a tune selection is active, all the parameters and commands that are found between the tunes are ignored. If you want these extra commands to be treated, you may put them inside the tune, either after X: or just after the tune before the empty line.
