I am a big fan of it ever since I discovered it last year. Am trying to put more of my music into ABC as it is (a) human-readable, very important, and (b) basically quite a stable format in contrast with some other forms of notation. Software developers take note!

Yes. I was favourably impressed too. I came across it on Nigel Gatherer's web-site (www.nigelgatherer.com) and discovered it to be in extensive use. It is an excellent way to make music available on the Guide for the future. There are several extensive sources of tunes in ABC format. Why shouldn't the Guide become a useful source of music too? More the merrier! And hats-off to the creative persons who made it possible.
