Runabc

Runabc is a simple to use application dedicated to opening and playing the musical scored stored in an ABC file. The program features several playback tools and can detect certain information regarding the files, as well as a text editor that can display the file as a code that you can modify.

Easily manage ABC files

The ABC files represent musical notation documents, which include information regarding the chords and other symbols, such as sharp, flat, the key or the length of the note. Runabc can help you view the file details, as well as to play the songs it describes.
You can manage various layers of the song separately, such as instruments and the voices, strings, drums or keyboards. The program also allows you to open the ABC files in text format so that you may modify certain options or compose new tunes. You can select the chord, add grace notes and specify actions such as cut, strike or slide.

Reliable audio converter and editor

Runabc allows you to convert certain elements from the selected ABC file, such as turn Gchords or drums to voice, reformat the lines or extract the selected fragment. The program allows you to change the pitch or tempo, select another drum configuration or modify the voices.
Other useful options include a searching tool that allows you to find titles within the selected ABC file, the tune matching tool, grouper and histogram matcher. The program can convert MIDI files to ABC, as well as split or merge ABC documents.

Quickly export and print files

Runabc allows you to print the selected ABC file, as well as rename, duplicate or combine ABC documents with ease. The program can only manage one ABC file at a time, however, you can easily load the desired document at any time you wish. The quick conversion tool allows you to turn ABC to PS, ABCM to PS or use the YAPS options.
