Thank you for your nice words. Midiexplorer has evolved to version 4.71 where I fixed most of the error messages. I have done more work on chordal analysis (eg chordgram, chordtext, chord histogram). My music knowledge of all the complex chords is somewhat limited and I am not sure how to deal with some of complex chords like suspensions, (There is some description on https://midiexplorer.sourceforge.io/#chordtype_algorithm)

You can also post a message on the abcusers group for more help or information. There may already be a discussion on ps2pdf. https://groups.io/g/abcusers Seymour ----- Original Message ----- From: "mjsiny" mjsiny@users.sourceforge.net To: "Ticket 57, pstopdf missing" 57@tickets.easyabc.p.re.sourceforge.net Sent: Tuesday, January 23, 2024 9:21:28 PM Subject: [easyabc:tickets] #57 pstopdf missing Thank you for trying to help Seymour. I've looked at the link you provided. I am a user, not a programmer...

I think that the install from Frederic Aupepin may come with GhostScript. If you have been using EasyABC before on your system it is possible that GhostScript is already there; however, I am not sure about the Mac. The Settings/ABC Settings... leads you to a window which looks like the attached gif file, after selecting the top File Settings command. On the Mac, the file locations will be different. Since I do not have a Mac, I cannot give you much more help. Perhaps you could contact Frederic Aupepin...

According to https://github.com/aupfred/EasyABC/releases/tag/EasyABC_v1.3.8.7-Mac_20240107 This version would use GhostScript to create a pdf file. I assume ps2pdf is still on Ghostscript and has not been removed. You can get this version from either this github, or sourceforge. I do not have a mac to try it out, but I have created pdf files using GhostScript on my Windows PC.

The messages look really weird. Try "C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyABC\easy_abc.exe" in your Windows Power Shell. instead of C:\Program Files (x86)\EasyABC> python easy_abc.py There could be some incompatibilities with Python 3.11. EasyABC was tested on EasyABC 3.10 which is installed on my system. Which version of Python did you use on your old computer? You can communicate directly to me on my email fy733@ncf.ca Seymour

Try running it from a Windows Power Shell or Command Window and you should see all the error messages. If you are running the Python source code, you would enter python easy_abc.py

abc2midi appears to be running normally. I do not know what is causing the problem. You could try doing a cold restart (Go to Settings menu.) If this does not help, uninstall easyABC and regress to an older version.

After attempting to play the tune, click on the internals/messages menu button to get more information. Also check the message box when the program is running normally like displaying the score of a selected tune.
