    I've just downloaded EasyABC-1.3.8 and I get this:

    $ python easy_abc.py
    10:55:53: Debug: ScreenToClient cannot work when toplevel window is not shown
    fluidsynth: warning: SDL2 not initialized, SDL2 audio driver won't be usable
    Fatal Python error: (pygame parachute) Segmentation Fault
    Aborted (core dumped)

    I've googled about this and see pointers that talked about a change from fluidsynth1 to fluidsynth2 as being a problem for other code e.g.

    https://www.doomworld.com/forum/topic/114541-solved-gzdoom-fluidsynth-issue-with-ubuntu-2004/

    Any solutions/pointers appreciated

    Thanks - I now see the fluidsynth warning is a red herring and not the cause of the problem. Given that the code is written in python3 shouldn't the instructions be amended to:

    python3 easy_abc.py

    I'm not sure. This is what I did on my system.
    It could also mean that the code is supposed to run with both Python 2 and 3, and that something is missing in your/my Python 2 environment.
