Description-en: Translates ABC music description files to PostScript
This is the Debian port of the abcm2ps program by Jean-François Moine.
The program translates tunes written in the ABC format to PostScript,
which can then be viewed using Ghostview et al. or printed on a
PostScript printer or through Ghostscript. It supports various
semi-standard extensions to the ABC standard, such as multiple
voices and staves.
.
This program is a vastly improved spin-off from Michael Methfessel's
abc2ps, which is no longer supplied as part of Debian. In particular,
it contains a lot of extensions to help typeset classical music.
