Click HERE to access a beta BMW to ABC translation tool which produces cleaner output by reducing the number of numbers used in the output that denote note length. Always a work in progress! The most recent bug fixed is that some note lengths were being given as decimals.

BMW stands for Bagpipe Music Writer. The ABC output is how I would write the ABC code.

Check out Andrew Lenz's site for a helpful tutorial on using ABC for bagpipes.

Mandolintab.net is a great all in one site for creating PDF, MIDI, etc. from ABC and also transposing between keys.

And HERE is a quick reference website for all your basic info on ABC syntax.

Jens Wollschlager's ABC-Transposer is a less powerful tool to transpose to other keys.

Add "%%landscape yes" to the top of your abc code if you want landscape output. Click here for more abc2ps commands that can be placed into abc code.
