Hello Dean, To answer your question: Yes but I don't know why Follow Score is not working for you. It was made with the Windows version and last time I checked it worked on Linux too. And I don't have a mac to test it. Perhaps you can tell which version of EasyABC you use and what operating system it is running on?

I think I've fixed it. 1.3.8.7 will contain the fix.

I have experienced this myself too and switched to exporting the pdf first. Today I finally could reproduce the black page without wasting any paper or toner by using Bullzip PDF printer. I have no idea yet why the page is black while the preview is just fine. If I find a solution I will let you know.

Raspberry Pi seems to have a missing file

Change color of the Gchord
-
As long abcm2ps does not have the ability to change chord colors it is not possible to implement this in EasyABC.
-
On Linux (using Gnome specifically) the musical symbols in the Edit menu did not show so it has been removed entirely. If you enlarge the ABC assist panel you can still insert musical symbols by clicking on one of the symbols under 'Insert decoration'
-
You probably have enabled Do-re-mi-mode with ctrl-d. You can disable it again by pressing ctrl-d or in the menu Settings -> ABC typing assistence -> Do-re-mi mode
-
Yes you can use Find in Files (ctrl-shift-f) to search for abc files. Default it searches in titles but it can search on multiple fields. For example if you search for a tune in G with 'love' in the lyrics you can use: K:G w:love
-
You could also use pip to install pyparsing. pip install pyparsing Some distributions still have both Python 2 and Python 3. In that case use: pip3 install pyparsing
-
Hello Ray, In a next version of EasyABC this will be fixed. For the time being you could try the following: cd /opt/easyabc rm pyparsing.py sudo apt install python3-pyparsing python3 easy_abc.py

Hello alcluith, Not much we can do in EasyABC to fix that. It simply interprets the .svg-files that abcm2ps generates. Maybe more luck with an online editor like: - abc2svg (from the same author as abcm2ps) http://moinejf.free.fr/js/edit-1.xhtml - https://editor.drawthedots.com/ JW edit: good to know you found a solution

EasyABC won't loop

This has been solved.

Hello Dave, Yes I know. You probably are using a SoundFont. It then uses FluidSynth and then there is no event when the music stops. The only way I think is to poll frequently if the music is still playing. I think this ghost line is by design. Jan Wybren On 1-9-2021 17:15, Dave Chaika wrote: EasyABC Ver. 1.3.7.9 1.

That is a creative workaround. You could also try the newly released version :-) https://sourceforge.net/projects/easyabc/files/EasyABC/1.3.7.9/ On 23-8-2021 19:44, Dave Chaika wrote: While we’re waiting there is a workaround for looping I found on another discussion group.

Hello Dave, I know exactly what you mean. The highlight color used to be red, but I changed it to green a while back because I found that better. At the time I was too lazy to make it configurable but since you asked for it I have added it to the Abc settings menu. It will be available in the 1.3.7.9 version. If you can't wait that long, you can try it out from EasyABC's github page https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC. On 21-8-2021 14:15, Dave Chalika wrote: It just occurred to me to ask about this....

Well, not solved it, but rather bypassed it (only tested on Windows). I am currently working on using FluidSynth for playback instead of GStreamer. Only problem is that fluidsynth version 2 is needed and only a few Linux distributions have packages for fluidsynth 2 yet.

Hello Wesley, I have tried EasyABC on Linux a year ago and also got: "Media Playback error: GStreamer error" That is why I have been searching for an alternative. I found an implementation of FluidSynth for Python from Wim Vree. https://wim.vree.org/svgParse/testplayer.html When I contacted Wim Vree he told me he made that for the original developer of EasyABC, Nils Liberg. Good news. As of today it works for Windows (32 bit only). Bad news: someone needs to port FluidSynth 1.1.6 along with Wim Vree's...

Hello Wesly, Thank you for sending the error log. I have made some changes that should fix these issues. As usual they can be found at: https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC You are running python 2.7 with the new wxPython (version 4). I was not aware that wxPython 4 also had a Python 2.7 version. So I replaced some checks for Python3 with checks for wxPython4. The first line of easy_abc.py pointed to python2.7. Since we are moving to Python 3 I have removed that line. Supporting 2 versions of Python is...

Hello Wesly, Found the source of the problem. The last width and height of the main window is stored in a settings file. When the stored dimension are too small these errors will occur. One solution is to throw away the settings file (settings1.3.dat). The other is to use the source from https://github.com/jwdj/EasyABC where this issue has been solved by ignoring the dimensions when below a certain threshold. I hope this will help getting your EasyABC running again. On 8-10-2019 10:57, J.W. de Jong...

Hello Wesly, I installed wxPython 4.0.6 (32 bit and 64 bit) and everything worked fine. Until today. You probably got the same error as here below. I have no clue how to fix this yet.

Hello Bodo, Willem Vree has made some modifications to FluidSynth so that it could be used in Python and has accurate midi positioning. I have used his testplayer to get it working in EasyABC (with his consent, he even made it especially for EasyABC). You can find his code and binaries on: https://wim.vree.org/svgParse/testplayer.html If you can get his testplayer working, then it should be a small step to get it working in EasyABC. SourceForge has always been the home of EasyABC (as far as I know)...

Hello Bodo, Nice to meet a software developer. I am a software developer myself (mostly C#) and try to improve EasyABC in my spare time (not much spare time though). There seem to be some problems with GStreamer on Linux. Especially when using Linux in a VM like VirtualBox. That is why I started switching to using FluidSynth. I have this working in Windows but have not tried it in Linux yet. In order to use it you need to download a sound font (many free sound fonts available. for example FluidR3Mono_GM.sf2)...

Well, have tried several options: %%notespacingfactor 1 %%stretchstaff 0 %%stretchlast 0 %%sysstaffsep 0 %%maxshrink 0 But problem remains. It is not fixable in EasyABC. Maybe Jef Moine, creator/maintainer of abcm2ps, knows a solution. http://moinejf.free.fr/

Hello Andrew, EasyABC uses abcm2ps for typesetting and the visuals. Currently abcm2ps only supports coloring of notes and background (%%voicecolor and %%bgcolor). EasyABC also supports these two, but no more. So currently it is not possible I belief.

Hello Bill, I think it is because the code window is read only. And a read only control is displayed grey apparently in macOS. The only way to ungrey it is to make the code editable again I think. Jan Wybren

Might I suggest using the Snipping Tool that is part of Windows. Just select the part of the screen/score you want to publish and save it as .png. For a web page you can also use export to .svg. It is better rendered in browsers than .png.

I looked it up in the source, and I think I might have a solution. I think it is because you are using python-wxgtk3.0 instead of python-wxgtk2.8. Open svgrenderer.py and change: wxfont = wx.Font(font_size, font_family, style, weight, False, font_face, wx.FONTENCODING_DEFAULT) if '__WXMSW__' in wx.PlatformInfo: wxfont.SetPixelSize((font_size, font_size)) y += 1 else: wxfont.SetPointSize(font_size) into wxfont = wx.Font(font_size, font_family, style, weight, False, font_face, wx.FONTENCODING_DEFAULT)...

Rob, Are you using some kind of virtual machine like VirtualBox? I myself struggled with the same error a few months ago. The cause is not EasyABC itself but the mediaplayer component it uses. Although EasyABC only uses audio part of GStreamer, it seems a display is necessary too and VirtualBox does not provide it somehow. Linux Mint 17.3 worked fine, but since Linux Mint 18 the problem started and I have not been able to solve it.

Well, according to the abc-specification this should be possible with the %%writefields http://abcnotation.com/wiki/abc:standard:v2.1#typesetting_information_fields And it seems to work thanks to abcm2ps by Jef Moine, not thanks to EasyABC. So you should thank him for upholding the abc-specification.
