We are pleased to introduce abcDE, the Didactyl Editor for the abc music notation system. abcDE was originally conceived as a utility to assist researchers who are investigating the piano fingering problem. As such, it provides a convenient and user-friendly way to collect fingering data. Its benefits to researchers include the following:
This editor promises to reduce the opportunity costs of researchers who wish to explore this problem domain. It may also be of interest to any pianist who would like an easy way to create nicely engraved scores that reflect their personal fingering preferences. An alpha release of the editor is available. Please note that this is a work in progress and has not been tested thoroughly. For best results, please use Chrome. You may also review the draft online documentation for the editor and a detailed description of its native file format, abcD, which is an extension of abc. |
