2notes ABC Music Notation 2notes

by John Chambers

This is a tutorial for the ABC music notation and some of its software. You are reading the experimental, "in-development" version. Please send me comments about suggestions, typos, ideas, etc. I also have two very brief introductions to ABC, a plain text intro and an HTML intro. If you are not familiar with ABC, you might find these a better starting place than this in-depth tutorial.
