Introduction
ABCp is aimed to be an embeddable, scriptable
parser for the musical notation ABC. It's written in ANSI C and
provides the basic functions to open and handle ABC files.
Bindings for scripting languages, such Lua an Python,
are planned at a later stage, as well as interface with other languages
(Borland Delphi has been used as example
in our proof of concept).
The ABC notation is very convenient to write, even
with a simple ASCII editor. For a jump start in the ABC world,
look at the link page with a small collection of
ABC links.
The idea of a generic embeddable parser was thrown
in the abcusers
mailing list by Christian M. Cepel back in April 2004, this site
presents a possible approach to such a parser.
The news section will keep you up to
date with the on going activities. The download section will allow
you to download the released files. The "docs"
section contains the documentation written so far.
The most important section is "contacts".
You will find there the mail addresses and the link to the forum
that you can use to send us your comments and feedback. We absolutely
need help! If you want to partecipate to this project (in any way)
please contact us!
Enjoy!
