    Good to see there's an updated version of EasyABC. Will it soon be available in the repositories for easy installing on Manjaro Linux using yay or pamac? Being a musician rather than a computer techie, I don't know how to install it from the downloaded zip package (have looked for an easy guide but haven't found one I can understand!).

    Sorry no package for EasyABC. Too many different distributions I'm afraid. But here the steps from "using_EasyABC_in_Linux.txt":
    Download the source from either https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC (using button Code and Download zip) or https://sourceforge.net/projects/easyabc/files/EasyABC/
    Start a terminal and type:

    sudo apt install abcmidi abcm2ps fluid-soundfont-gm python3-wxgtk4.0

    unzip Downloads/EasyABC-master.zip
    mv EasyABC-master/ EasyABC

    sudo apt install libfluidsynth2

    If that fails because the package does not exist yet in your Linux distribution then download the source code from:
    https://github.com/FluidSynth/fluidsynth/releases
    and type the following in the terminal:
    tar -xvzf Downloads/fluidsynth-2.2.3.tar.gz
    cd fluidsynth-2.2.3/
    mkdir build
    cd build
    sudo apt install cmake libgtk2.0-dev libpulse-dev
    cmake ..
    make libfluidsynth
    cp src/libfluidsynth.so* ~/EasyABC

    And then start EasyABC by typing:
    cd ~/EasyABC
    python3 easy_abc.py
