The project is used to generate guitar tab music from music in ABC notation. This project is a work in progress and will continued to be improved on.

Usage:

• Look at the individual folders for each package (downward, Tabctoabc, abctab2ps) and make sure you have the required packages/libraries.
• For default use: Run the get_tab.sh file with the location of the .abc file you want to convert.
  • example use: source get_tab.sh ../abcMusic/forTesting/ladyAndFarmer.abc
  • ../ the abc file is used by a program in a different folder
  • get_tab.sh attempts to recreate
• If you want to use a different algorithm to decide note location then change the --search criteria in the get_tab.sh file
  • use cea, or lmcut heuristics. cea is faster but lmcut is better
  • visit the fast-downward website for other search algorithms
