This package contains jcabc2ps, a version of abc2ps with support for extended repeat notation and arbitrary key signatures. This was foisted on the world mostly because I needed these features for music that I'm working with, and nobody else seemed to be doing much with it. Please read the Changes file to see what has changed since the last release that you had. As with the last few releases by Michael Methfessel, the code here uses a number of ANSI C features, such as function prototypes with the args listed, and the // comment delimiter. It probably won't work very well with older C compilers. It has been compiled on linux, FreeBSD and OSX machines so far. Comments on bugs, features, and so on should be sent to: John Chambers , To build jcabc2ps from the tar.gz kit: mkdir jcabc2ps cd jcabc2ps zcat < ../jcabc2ps.tar.gz | tar xf - make This will make jcabc2ps You can also build a set of ps files from all the abc files in the abc/ directory. The output files will be in the ps/ directory So far, the only way I know to verify the output is to examine the ps files via a PostScript viewer. Maybe I'll work on including some regression tests that do the checking automatically, if I ever learn how to do that with PostScript. Here's a full PostScript manual: http://www.adobe.com/products/postscript/pdfs/PLRM.pdf There's an older version of this package on sourceforge, but my account there seems to have stopped working, so I don't know when (if ever) I'll be able to update that version again.
