Hi, I still haven't used MacOS 26* Would you be able to try directly from source by installing python and run latest version? You can get latest version here: https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC Otherwise I'll try to build an app with latest source.

Player not playing two vocal lines

Other solution would be to end line just after the voice definition so either [V:H] A2 c2 | A2 Gc | B3/ A/ G (A/B/) | A2 z2 | or V:H A2 c2 | A2 Gc | B3/ A/ G (A/B/) | A2 z2 |

I created a .abc file with two vocal lines. In the past there has been no issue when pressing the 'play' button, both vocal lines playing perfectly. Now there's no sound at all and it doesn't stop playing, the 'pause' being visible all the time, until 'stop' is pressed. A version of the file with melody only plays just fine. I'm running version 1.3.8.7 in Windows 11. The following is my coding: I:papersize A4 %%topspace 0cm %%topmargin 0.3cm %%botmargin 0.5cm %%leftmargin 0.5cm %%rightmargin 0.5cm...

I have upgraded PCs to a Win11 PC. When I downloaded EasyABC, it installed a file called"Unconfirmed 516544.crdownload". Win11 doesn't know what to do with this file and neither do I. Help! (Note: I am NOT a programmer.)

Hi, In easy ABC, Does a functionality "ABC Transcription Tools - PDF Tunebook Table of Contents and Index Section Headers" exist ? I found that one on https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ZdBg6Yd8lNU ABC Transcription Tools. Hyperlinked in PDF. Sets are possible using Section functionnality, but I think it should be a specific function : a section should contain tunes and sets of tunes.

CamStLouis (bagpipes?) and LaurieSavage (sax) have successfully installed bodo/bomm's deb package on Mint (Laurie in v22.2 - Zara). I installed it earlier on Debian v12 Bookworm on a 20 year old 32-bit laptop. (Which has since become 64-bit running Debian v13 Trixie.) See also my post here about packages and 'pip': https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC/issues/126#issuecomment-3315249941

Sorry, I should have said this is using the latest version from GitHub

I edited in a note above to say that all seemed the same on the 64-bit OS. The 32-bit install was an accident because it's what's on the Pi branded SD cards. I carried on as a dry run to check my install scripts. About Debian versions. It may be worth mentioning that the Pi OS lags a few months behind Debian on stepping the version status. So Bookworm is 'stable' although Debian has moved on to Trixie. In addition the Pi documentation notes that unlike Debian the Pi 'stable' version is not really...
-
It's the same on 64-bit. There have always been errors, mainly gtk, on startup running from source on the Pi with some differences between Wayland and X11. I haven't bothered reporting them as nothing important wasn't working and I guessed it might be best to investigate them on a Pi so a maintainer could generate them themselves. I'll add a note about 64-bit to the discussion.
-
Googling that error revealed only one instance on RPi+bookworm (in tauri) but several on recent-ish Arch/Fedora/Suse systems. They seem to be caused by gtk/wayland/graphics driver bugs. Fixes included rolling back gtk or adding a parameter to disable something, e.g. vulkan. If this is 32-bit bookworm, as you suggested in the linked discussion, you could try 64. Trixie is 64 only so you might as well change now if you think you might go there eventually.

Hello Phil, I suggest to try my Debian package, preferably on a clean system. This package was mentioned in Davel's message from July 29. See https://github.com/bomm/EasyABC/releases/ The package should run on all CPU architectures, require all dependencies and register EasyABC as a desktop application including the icon. I would like to get feedback about success as well as about problems or errors. If it works well, I would ask for my changes for building the Debian package to be integrated into...
-
Thanks. Details of a new install would be useful. If you wait a bit you may be able to install Trixie, which is currently available for testing. If you happen to be a member of Facebook, could you post a link to this discussion over there, perhaps in this thread.
-
Thanks for all that. It seems Raspberry Pi 5 Bookworm users can (at the moment) cut a few corners. What did was: Download the zip from github.com/jwdj/EasyABC Extract it and open terminal in the source folder. Have a look at the file using_EasyABC_in_Linux.txt and think - why not just try it? So: sudo apt install fluidsynth sudo apt install abcmidi abcm2ps fluid-soundfont-gm python3-wxgtk4.0 python3-pyparsing python3 easy_abc.py And it worked! So, today at any rate, everything seems lined up. I haven't...

Bingo. Thank you Sera, I had decided the behaviour was a bug and had stopped using EasyABC at all. Now I know that the peristent caps thing is supposed to be a feature I might possibly find it useful, but the caps lock key has always worked well for me.

Recent questions on Facebook and abcusers about moving from Windows 10 to Linux prompt me to post this here, as this site is generally accessible. Development of EasyABC is done on Github. I created an 'issue' on github to help to help new Linux users install EasyABC. Please read the inital post there: https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC/issues/126#issue-2887633971 Github is a site for delevopers and too technical for most users. So here's what you need to know as a Windows user moving to Linux and wanting...

Nevertheless it would be good to find out what caused the problem. If it is related to a system update, users of other distributions might face a similar problem in future. But it could also be an incompatibility between system packages and 3rd-party packages, e.g. those from Guido Gonsato's page. For further analysis we might need the version numbers of all related packages.

Yes, that's the version I'm running with Guido's latest binaries, the latest wxPython stuff and the wx Toolkit, Ghostscript (which I assume does the rendering along with abcm2ps). It's disheartening.

This is most probably due to the options you've selected in the settings. Indeed EasyABC might add a few lines according to the settings before sending it to abcm2ps to render. Look in the internal message menu in the ABC file that is processed, you will have it complete. Not ideal but it helps.

Unable to change tempo once playback begins

Hi, In version 1.3.8.7, fluidsynth is used underneath to play the midi files. In this case it is not possible to change tempo while playing. As using fluidsynth has some cons, in next release being prepared another means is used in order to directly connect to Apple Midi Synthesizer. Will see to still have fluidsynth embedded to be able to export to wav or other formats.

I don't use Mint (or Ubuntu) but downgrading Python below the Linux system version could be unpredictable unless you use a virtual environment. Anyway, unless you want to run an old version of EasyABC I would download a new snapshot of it from github - the big green button here: https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC That has been updated for Python 3.13 (I think that's self-consistent after the very recent bunch of commits.)

You would need to install fluidsynth. The same kind of error is raised on Mac since the default media player from wxPython (library used by EasyABC) do not support MIDI. Maybe some kind of similar issue on Windows.
