KernScores

Conversion tests for Humdrum to ABC+ data format.

This page lists various test, demonstrations and musical examples of the conversion of Humdrum **kern files into musical notation via the hum2abc program to convert Humdrum data into ABC+ notation, and then abcm2ps program to convert ABC+ data into PostScript (and then PDF with ps2pdf).

The buttons on the left contain statically created PDF files of the musical score for each file. A dynamically generated PDF file of the music notation for the file can be generated by clicking on the title of the entry, and then going to the Data Format Translations section of the info page, and finally clicking on the "notation" link in the ABC+ plus entry. The intermediate ABC+ data can be seen by clicking on the link just before that one.

	Tests and Demonstrations
	1. Articulations which can be printed with hum2abc (shown with notes stem up and stem down)
	2. Demonstration of beaming
	3. Second beaming example (which was initially causing problems)
	4. Simple rhythms test
	5. Dotted rhythm test
	6. Key signature test
	7. Time Signature test
	8. Gracenote test
	9. Ties, Slurs and Phrase test
	10. Tuplets test
	11. Multiple layers (voices) on one staff (only maximum of two voices per staff for now)
	12. Invisible rests using "y" to indicate invisibility
	13. Cautionary accidentals using "X" to force the printing of a normally suppressed accidental sign.
	14. Demonstration of first- and second-endings
	15. Demonstration of multi-bar rests The multi-bar rest will automatically be created in single staff systems. The algorithm to generate multi-bar staves is not generalized yet, so items such as repeat barlines will be absorbed into the multi-bar rest eventhough they shouldn't
	Musical Examples
	1. Beethoven Moonlight sonata, Third movement, measures 30 & 31: example which was initially causing problems with invisible rests inserted around the grace notes (due to getAbsBeat() adjusting their positions in the score).
	2. Beethoven Moonlight sonata First movement, ending. Initially had some alignment problems due
