ABC Transcription Tools - Using "Reformat Using MusicXML" to Fix &-based Measure Overlay Issues
Demonstration of using the tool's "Reformat Using MusicXML" feature to clean up the rendering of a Chopin Mazurka and a Beethoven Piano Sonata that use the ABC & measure note overlay feature extensively, which sometimes abcjs has issues properly rendering.
This can be useful for cleaning up some ABC files that have odd formatting or use & measure note overlays which sometimes cause rendering and playback issues.
MusicXML import formatting is done using the values set in "MusicXML/MIDI Import Settings" available from the main "Settings" dialog.
When reformatting large ABC collections, since MusicXML-based reformatting doesn't require rendering the tunes, I suggest using the "Quick Editor" which only renders the first tune in the collection.
This can be particularly helpful if the initial rendering of the collection is slow in the standard editor because of "one measure per ABC line" formatting of the ABC.
From the "Quick Editor" you can then run "Reformat Using MusicXML", save the resulting ABC, then open the reformatted ABC in the standard editor.
