ABC2Tab Converts an ABC format file and writes an ASCII Tablature file for the dulcimer or guitar. This program takes its input from an ABC format file and writes an ASCII Tablature file for the dulcimer or guitar.
Customized string tunings and string counts may also be configured. The ABC notation system was developed by Chris Walshaw.
The ABC Notation system has been used to transcribe a wide variety of folk
songs. There have been several programs developed to convert ABC files
into other formats (postscript, midi, windows just to name a few). And
now there is ABC2Tab.
This program attempts to implement (or ignore when necessary) the standards
defined by the ABC Version 1.6 specification. Extensions added by other
programs will be implemented as necessary. When an information field
or notation feature cannot be translated into the ASCII Tab format, it will
be ignored.
