How to understand abc (the basics) « abc notation blog [the second in a series of articles on using and understanding abc] OK. So let’s suppose you’ve just come across abc and you want to know a little more about how it works before delving deeper. Or maybe you’ve already started using abcs you’ve found on websites and now you want to understand them, perhaps to try modifying them slightly. In this short article we’re going to look at the basics of the notation itself. The structure of an abc tune Typically a tune consists of two parts – the header, containing background information, and the notes, containing … the notes. In this first example, the header is the first 5 lines – each line containing a different type of information – and the notes are contained in the last 3 lines. X:1 T:Paddy O'Rafferty C:Trad. We will now look at all the elements of this tune in more detail. The header Each tune can contain a lot of background information so there are fields to cover almost every eventuality. Finally the X: field just contains a reference number.

Impro-Visor Screen Shot: Partial List of Features: Lead sheets and solos can be constructed through either point-and-click or using a plain text editor (one is provided, but any editor can be used). Optional automatic note coloration shows whether notes are consonant or dissonant with chords and scales. Chords may also be entered quickly through a "roadmap" editor, which also analyzes chord changes for implied keys and idiomatic progressions ("bricks"). Harmonic note entry option guides the user to select notes that are consonant with harmony. Linux Credits:

Piano Software & Music Education Solutions 'Best In Class' Award. -International Society for Technology in Education Gets to the heart of how music is learned...a simpler and more effective way to develop a musical sense that will last. I have been in a teaching situation with people from ages 7-78... Developed by music educators, Piano Suite is a real teaching tool for learning to play piano no matter what your age! To sum up the whole package, I have to say that I’m very impressed on several counts. Piano Suite Premier is a rare bird: kid-friendly software that doesn't condescend. I also know few people - myself included - who had the dedication to hone their skills by putting in the long hours of practice required to play an instrument well. I have Piano Suite on 3 computers! (Piano Suite) contains all of the above and is designed to teach users to play the piano as well as to provide a solid grounding in theory, history and composition. All in all this is a great piano tutorial and one I can definitely recommend.
ABC notation ABC notation is a shorthand form of musical notation. In basic form it uses the letters A through G to represent the given notes, with other elements used to place added value on these - sharp, flat, the length of the note, key, ornamentation. Later, with computers becoming a major means of communication, others saw the possibilities of using this form of notation as an ASCII code that could facilitate the sharing of music online, also adding a new and simple language for software developers. In this later form it remains a language for notating music using the ASCII character set. The earlier ABC notation was built on, standardized and changed to better fit the keyboard and an ASCII character set by Chris Walshaw, with the help and input of others. ABC Notation being ASCII-based, any text editor can be used to edit the music. History of ASCII ABC Notation[edit] Standardization[edit] Guido Gonzato later compiled a new version of the specification and published a draft of version 2.0.
