Instructions
This utility walks through all the tunes in an ABC tunebook, flattens all tune repeats, divides the tunes in to specified measure number phrases and inserts the same number of full measure rests after each phrase.
This makes it easy to do "call-and-response" style practice using the ABC Transcription Tools "Tune Trainer".
1) Click Open an existing .ABC file to open a file or paste a ABC tune into the Original ABC Tunes box below.
2) Enter your desired phrase length in Phrase length in measures (default is 2).
3) If you want additional full measure padding between the phrases, enter a number into Additional full-measure rest padding between phrases
4) Click Generate Phrase-by-Phrase ABC Version.
5) The generated phrase-by-phrase ABC version will be shown in the Expanded Phrase-by-Phrase ABC Version box.
6) Save, Copy or Open the results:
- Click Save to a file to save the phrase-by-phrase ABC version to a file.
- Click Copy to the clipboard to copy the phrase-by-phrase ABC version to the system clipboard for pasting into other applications.
- Click Open in the ABC Transcription Tools to open the phrase-by-phrase ABC version in my ABC Transcription Tools
If the share link generated to directly open the tunes is too long to open, you will be presented with an alert explaining the issue.
If this happens, click Copy to the clipboard and then paste the ABC into the ABC Transcription Tools.
