EasyABC 1.3.3

Here are some key features of "EasyABC":

· Good ABC standard coverage thanks to internal use of abcm2ps and abc2midi
· Syntax highlighting
· Zoom support

· Play the active tune as midi
· Record songs from midi directly in the program. Just press Rec, play on your midi keyboard and then press Stop.
· The musical score is automatically updated as you type in ABC code.
· Support for unicode (utf-8) and other encodings.
· Transpose and halve/double note length functionality (using abc2abc)
· An abcm2ps format file can easily be specified in the settings.
· ABC fields in the file header are applied to every single tune in a tune book.
· Automatic alignment of bars on different lines
· Available in French, Danish, Swedish and English
