abc Notation, where have you been all my life?!?
#2
I love that you and other ABC enthusiast like laurent have come to mobilesheets (the app and the forum).

I've been a fan of ABC since I discovered it a few years ago and was the one asking Mike to implement it in MS (though I reckon that it finally happened had more to do with all the fine work Johan/Sciurius did with chordpro and including ABC support there). Also I love that Mike used abc2svg to include it which AFAIK know is a first and the only one so far (all the other apps use the old abc2psm which isn't developed by Jef anymore (only bugfixed) so all the nice features Jef added in the last few years (including some requests of mine; have you tried the grid stuff yet?) are usable in MS.

I feel I haven't plugged MSP enough in the ABC community, but I still consider it in sort of beta phase, though (and laurent does a good job).

I still have on my list to make a post with some examples how to use ABC so more can realize what a powerful and versatile feature it is. While too few musicians use ABC (at least in the main genres of Rock/Pop, Jazz and classic music) so you can't just download many scores and songs and have to write or at least convert the songs, I still don't think many have realized what a game changer it is within MSP, to be able to get there notation scores (with MXML and Vim DeVrees conversion tools) into MSP to get an transposable and in many ways editable score in a music viewer on iOS/Android/Windows.

Mike, I still think it would be another strong sales point and (for now) unique feature, if you implement opening/converting mxml files to ABC within the app.

Enough of that now. Mike, keep up the good work (and don't forget ABC over all the library separation requests) :-)
