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!
