| Chris Walshaw's abc musical notation page | abc is a language designed to notate tunes in an ascii format. It was designed primarily for folk and traditional tunes of Western European origin (such as English, Irish and Scottish) which can be written on one stave in standard classical notation. | http://staffweb.cms.gre.ac.uk/~c.walshaw/abc |

| Aubrey Jaffer's Folk Music Page | My tune collection has folk tunes in abc musical notation, sheet music (PDF), and MIDI for your listening pleasure. Most of these are Cambridge Folk Orchestra repertoire; others are personal favorites. | http://swissnet.ai.mit.edu/~jaffer/Music | Aubrey

| Guido Gonzato's web site - The ABC Plus Homepage | I have written a manual that explains how to write music using ABC Plus. It focuses on using abcm2ps and abcMIDI, but most of the information it contains can be applied (at least to some extent) to all ABC applications. Many thanks to Norman Schmidt who helped me translate parts of the manual. I release this manual under the GNU GPL. This basically means that it's free and that you can freely modify it, as long as you make your modifications publicly available. | http://abcplus.sourceforge.net | Guido
