abcm2ps example

Here is a simple example of what abcm2ps can do.

The ABC source file, extracted from voices.abc, is:

X:7
T:Qui Tolis (Trio)
C:André Raison
M:3/4
L:1/4
Q:1/4=92
%%staves {(Pos1 Pos2) Trompette}   
K:F
%  
V:Pos1
%%MIDI program 78
"Positif"x3  |x3    |c'>ba|Pga/g/f|:g2a  |ba2    |g2c- |c2P=B  |c>de  |fga    |
V:Pos2
%%MIDI program 78
        Mf>ed|cd/c/B|PA2d |ef/e/d |:e2f  |ef2    |c>BA |GA/G/F |E>FG  |ABc-   |
V:Trompette
%%MIDI program 56
"Trompette"z3|z3    |z3   |z3     |:Mc>BA|PGA/G/F|PE>EF|PEF/E/D|C>CPB,|A,G,F,-|

The .png generation is done (in a Linux box) with:

  abcm2ps voices -E -e7
  gs -sDEVICE=pngmono -r80 -g590x180 \
     -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE \
     -sOutputFile=quitolis.png Out001.eps

The result is:

Then, if you want to know more, try it yourself...
