3.9.17: musescore -> ABC
#1
I have a few problems with the chord notation of ABC files. These problems are not caused by mobilesheets, but I hope to find some help here:
  • How do you achieve a distinction between the quite significantly different chords F# (6) and F (#6)?
  • In the musejazz-font I found, you can't distinguish the lowercase “m” from the uppercase “M”. This is not suitable for legibility. Are there other similar jazz fonts?
  • Are there alternative conversion programs from Musesore to ABC than the plugin ABCImpEx? For example, a version that includes the brackets around the extensions?

    Thank You!

As far as I know you have to go with saving as mxml (and I think you lose some of the musescore formatting with that).
I believe the conversion through ABCImpEx goes through mxml as well.

Anyway, the best converters I found have been the ones from Wim Van Vree (maybe these are even the ones underlying ABCImpE).

Have a look at https://wim.vree.org/svgParse/index.html

You can find command-line converters there (also a link to a GUI).

And you can find and try some online converters. The ABC tools by Michael Eskin are excellent und you can directly drop a mxml file into the the window and it automatically converts to ABC. I don't know if it works with the brackets you mentioned, but you easily try out yourself.

Thank you very much.
Unfortunately, the problem is probably caused by Musescore, as the brackets are not transferred to the xml and abc files.

I can confirm that the ABC ImpEx plugin converts F#(6), F#6 and F(#6) to F#6 - so the difference is lost as you reported.
But if you export the MSCZ file to MusicXML the chords stay different, just F#(6) becomes F#(add6). So it might be worth trying other converting tools.
MuseJazzText is my favourite font for chords. It is available here https://github.com/musescore/MuseScore/t...ster/fonts
It has clearly different characters for uppercase and lowercase m/M.
