AbcMus is a program for tunebooks in ABC format, created by Henrik Norbeck. AbcMus 2.0 runs under Windows 95, 98, NT4, ME, 2000 and XP.

AbcMus 2.0 has the following features:

  • Playback with a nice, definable style, via the sound card. Makes the tunes worth listening to. The best ABC player software so far?
  • Play only part of a tune. Simply mark the part you want to play.
  • Fast search for a text through all your ABC files (composer, name, etc).
  • Loose match option for search. Handy when names are spelled in several ways.
  • Powerful music search to match a melody or tune, even finding transposed tunes or variations.
  • Automatic chordsetting utility, transposing of tunes and other abc tools.
  • Easy handling of ABC tunebooks. Copy, move and edit tunes, etc.
  • Automated generation of tune lists, cheat sheets, tune indexes, etc, with flexible format.

  • Import files from some other common tune file formats.
  • Save tunes as MIDI files.
Due to the current financial crisis state of large parts of the global economy, I've decided to make AbcMus freeware.
