There is a simple music format, called ABC. It lets you enter text very simply in a simple ASCII format. There are numerous renderers to convert the ascii to publishable quality postcript. See: http://www.gre.ac.uk/~walshaw/abc/index.html for more details. I built a website with a perl frontend that parses out those ABC song files, so there is a nice user interface: http://www2.redhawk.org/irish/index.pl -- While at Tom Christianson's Intermediate Perl course, I showed the instructor ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) the site, and he encouraged me to develop perl modules for the ABC music archive files. And so here I am. I propose 2 perl modules (which I have up and running, mostly POD-ed. Music::ABC::Song -- object oriented module to encapsulate information for a song. Music::ABC::Archive -- object oriented module which handled the archive files themselves, dependent on Music::ABC::Song. These 2 modules provide "read-only" access to ABC archive files. There are a couple of places where I need to tighten up the error trapping, but the modules are 95% complete. I eventually plan to write a Music::ABC::Render module, but that depends on an external C program, and it will have to wait :-) Cheers, Jeff Welty The following links are only valid for PAUSE maintainers: Registration form with editing capabilities: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_user&USERID=c7400000_7528bf103b3d7412&SUBMIT_pause99_add_user_sub=1 Immediate (one click) registration: https://pause.perl.org/pause/authenquery?ACTION=add_user&USERID=c7400000_7528bf103b3d7412&SUBMIT_pause99_add_user_Definitely=1
