Extra notation diddly end of ABCexplorer tune
I'm using (learning) ABCexplorer 1.6.1 on a laptop PC and when printing out to PDF either ABCexplorer, Acrobat, or something else "often" automatically adds an extra line of notation diddly at the end that has nothing to do with the particular tune. I've searched the helps in ABCexpl and Acrobat attempting to find what I have "selected", turned on, or defaults to, but, can't remedy the notation. Anyone have a quick answer to turn off the extra diddly?
TIA and always appreciated.

Re: Extra notation diddly end of ABCexplorer tune
I can't picture what the diddly might be. Can you post a PDF to Box.net or somewhere?

I found the tunes Erin's Shore on both The Session and within the ABCexplorer sites.

And I'm not sure which version (key) is the correct one.

Re: Extra notation diddly end of ABCexplorer tune
This works! Well, I think this looks very much like some usual words (some notes maybe?) which are erroneously being interpreted as ABCs. Are you sure your input ends with ...D3-D2|| ?

Re: Extra notation diddly end of ABCexplorer tune
I think that I copy the file X:1 down thru who submitted the tune on The Session. Could including the individual's name (words) be the issue? I'll stop doing that.

Re: Extra notation diddly end of ABCexplorer tune
Yes, that's what caused it. I just tried it and cleaned up the tune. I did that wrongfully to a lot of tunes. What's really embarrassing in my musical ignorance... I tried to learn those last lines on all those tunes. The notations were so outrageously exotic that I would give up on the last lines.megapop wrote:You mean that "# Added by humblebum 6 years ago." stuff?

Re: Extra notation diddly end of ABCexplorer tune
That title isn't looking so good either. Unless that's the curse word you say when you try to play it.ytliek wrote:https://app.box.com/s/87jd9t2ar1h6zf53vxpb
Yes, yes! ABC will attempt to [mis]interpret anything in the tune body, including that extra garbage.ytliek wrote:I think that I copy the file X:1 down thru who submitted the tune on The Session. Could including the individual's name (words) be the issue? I'll stop doing that.
The ABC for that last line would be something like: Added by ubeb uyea ag. Or, reinterpreting: Added by [H]u[m]b[l]ebu[m] yea[rs] ag[o].
The extra diddle is a jaunty little passage, but I don't think you can dance to it. Bach's rendering of his own name (Bb-A-C-B) in The Art of Fugue was more successful. And he was using a much older version of ABC Explorer.

Re: Extra notation diddly end of ABCexplorer tune
He he, reminds me of a silly online app I wrote a few years ago that takes any piece of text and attempts to interpret it as abc notation - TIAO, Text In Abc Out.
Crikey, (c) 1999? Make 'a few years ago' 'MANY years ago'!
It's VBScript only so only Internet Explorer needs apply ...
http://lesession.co.uk/abc/tiao.htm
I'm sure I ought to rewrite it in javascript or php or something to make it cross-browser, but I strongly suspect that ain't going to happen!

Re: Extra notation diddly end of ABCexplorer tune
Very interesting, Steve. The mapping from the text to the resulting ABC is definitely non-obvious.sfmans wrote:TIAO, Text In Abc Out.

Re: Extra notation diddly end of ABCexplorer tune
Yes, that IE restriction sucks. I have to admit that I've never even heard of VBScript...cboody wrote:Darn! no output on Mac on either Safari or Firefox. I really wanted to see that....
However, I was curious enough to port it to Javascript. And as Steve explicitly permitted this, here it is:

Seems to be the perfect procrastination-tool!
@Steve, if you want to include the js-code in your own page... well, you know where to find it.
