| BarFly is a text editor/player/viewer for abc music files. abc is a system of notation for music which uses ordinary ASCII text to represent the symbols which you would normally write on music manuscript. It is simple, human-readable, and if you can touch type it is much faster to enter abc at the keyboard than it is to use a graphical music program to place notes on a staff using the mouse. Because it's plain old ASCII, you can use it to post music to newsgroups (it's very bad netiquette to post MIDI, GIF or other binary files to text-only newsgroups) email tunes to your friends, or use it as a highly efficient way of storing music (you can store thousands of tunes on a single floppy disk). New in v1.7.3 - Registered users can now export any subset of tunes from an abc file, as pictures, Quicktime movies, Midi or AIFF audio files in a single operation.
- There's a new command (Remove Selected Instrument) on the Instrument menu.
- You can no longer install duplicate instruments in the Instrument menu.
- There's a new popup menu in the Save As dialog which gives you the option to save a copy of the document as plain text without resources.
- You can now undo a Paste Plain Text operation.
- Plus several bug fixes (please check the "New in this version" from the BarFly Help menu for more info).
