abc2notes adds the ABC notes to ABC music notation in the form of lyrics text. It can be run as a window application, a Perl script, a webpage plugin, or as JavaScript application using node.js.

• Sample Tunes, with added "notes" (lyrics)
• Sample Tunes, converted to XHTML

FEATURES

• This is very strongly based on abc2harp by Gek S. Low
• This does not cover the full chromatic scale ....
• Inline key changes are not supported, but clef changes should be okay
• This is NOT a parser! we're just using mostly string substitution to get the results we want. We're too lazy to write a full abc parser.
• We do not claim to handle all possible abc notation scenarios. There are many features of abc notation which we don't use, so we're sure there are many cases which are broken.
• Use at your own risk! We're not responsible for any damages, etc ... that may result from the use of this software.
