Steve Bennett:
Is there a publicly accessible server where we can
play with this extension?
not currently.
I'm curious how the two formats compare. This:
X: 1
T: Tommy Peoples'
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
R: reel
K: Bmin
doesn't look too intuitive to me. R? L? X? But
maybe the learning
curve is short.
well, if i were designing my own format, perhaps i wouldn't use single letter
keys to embed metadata. still, after you've used it even a little bit, it
becomes fairly easy to remember. (and for reading, most of the fields are
obvious: R is 'rhythm', K is 'key', etc.)
i've added a link to [0] on the extension page; this is a pretty decent
introduction to ABC.
Also, what's the status of the lilypond extension
on Wikipedia? It
doesn't seem to be enabled/present atm, but are there plans for it to
be?
as far as i know, it's unlikely to ever be enabled unless it's significantly
reworked, and in the last few years, no one has offered to do that. that's the
only reason i wrote this extension; if enabling Lilypond was a serious
possibility, i probably wouldn't have bothered.
