This is more of a limitation of abc2midi. EasyABC calls an external executable abc2midi to convert the abc file into a temporary midi file which is then played. You may have better luck expressing C>F as C3/2 F/2 and then inserting your grace notes as C3/2{DE}F/2. abc2midi has been evolving in the past few years and you can get the latest versions from sourceforge.net in the abcmidi project. Also there is a newer version abc2midiu in development on sourceforge.net. By going to the Settings/ABC settings...

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 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.
