abc2cvm 0.7 released (a tool to bring sheet music to the ColecoVision)

[PkK]

Even though I didn't find much time for ColecoVision programming this year I just released version 0.7 of abc2cvm, my tool to bring sheet music to the ColecoVision. Previous versions have been used e.g. for bringing Bach music to the ColecoVision, as used in my games (see e.g. the shunting puzzle demo at PDRoms for an example, or some of the demos at my site for older, but more polished examples).

 

abc2cvm canbe downloaded from it's page.

 

Here's the complete list of changes from 0.6:

-Added support for 'x' invisible rests.

-Fixed missing include of string.h for memset().

-Fixed bug that resulted in major scales being used when minor scales were specified.

-Removed broken support for multimeasure rests.

-Fixed unnecessary warning at line continuations.

-Added support for key changes within tune.

-Added support for broken rhythm notation.

-Added line info to diagnostic messages.

-Added support for T header.

-Show metrum diagnostic message in verbose mode only.

-Added support for C header.

-Added support for Z header.

-Added support for N header.

-Show diagnostic for unknown elements in tune in nonverbose mode, too.

 

This version shall help bring some of Mozart's horn duets to the ColecoVision in my future games (he seems to use invisible rests, key changes within tune and broken rhythm a lot).
