Top 15 EasyABC Alternative and Similar Softwares | Dec 2024

EasyABC allows you to edit and play abc files. It supports conversion from MusicXML and MIDI to ABC. The latter uses a custom implementation (midi2abc is not used) in order to produce very readable ABC output. Direct midi input is supported for people with a midi keyboard. It uses abcm2ps for printing music and abc2midi for playing it.

Features:

• Good ABC standard coverage thanks to internal use of abcm2ps and abc2midi
• Syntax highlighting
• Zoom support
• Import MusicXML and MIDI files (the midi to abc translator is custom made in order to produce legible abc code with more sensible beams than the typical midi2abc output).
• Export to MIDI, SVG, PDF (single tune or whole tune book).
• Select notes by clicking on them and add music symbols by using drop-down menus in the toolbar.
• Play the active tune as midi
• Record songs from midi directly in the program. Just press Rec, play on your midi keyboard and then press Stop.
• The musical score is automatically updated as you type in ABC code.
• Support for unicode (utf-8) and other encodings.
• Transpose and halve/double note length functionality (using abc2abc)
• An abcm2ps format file can easily be specified in the settings.
• ABC fields in the file header are applied to every single tune in a tune book.
• Automatic alignment of bars on different lines
• Available in French, Danish, Swedish and English
• Functions to generate incipits, sort tunes and renumber X: fields.
