JAABC2PS.EXE – ABC to Postscript Conversion Utility

Jaabc2ps is my adaptation of the scoring program "abcm2ps."  Like the original, it converts abc music notation into postscript files containing scalable graphics of sheet music.  On a PC platform you will need a program like GhostScript (available free) to display and print the output of this program.  The results are worth it as the output can be of near publication quality.  Jaabc2ps is distributed under the GNU Public License – see the "license" file included in the distribution.

Go here for a description of the new features in version 2.2.0 (December 20, 2003) of jaabc2ps.

Download the executable, source code (VC++ 6.0 project files), documentation, and examples (about 426k) – for 32-bit windoze platforms.

NOTE: I no longer keep a dual-boot machine around so the Linux version remains at 1.1.0!  If you use Linux you may wish to download the new zip file above, extract the source files and run a quick converter to fix the line termination, then move the new source files to your original development folder.  Please note that there is a new module ("indexing.h" and "indexing.c") to be added to your make file.
