Hi, i’ve recently changed from windows to linux, for various reasons. Is there a software that reads music in abc notation like abcnavigator (tried this one with wine but sound doesn’t work)?
Try this http://celticmusic.ca/skink.html there is a Linux compatible .abc program there
Good luck
Thanks for the link, but after i cd to the directory i write “java -jar Skink.jar” and it says:
Failed to load Main-Class manifest attribute from
Skink.jar
Sorry, i’m new to linux, what does that mean?
Skink is a front-end to abcm2ps. So if you’re comfortable with command line apps, you can also use abcm2ps directly.
Lorenzo, you might also contact Guido Gonzato in Verona for suggestions. He is a maintainer of abcm2ps binaries, and I think he knows Linux.

Ciao Lorenzo.
I write in english just for letting other people read.
You shouldn’t start directly the jar, but if you run the .sh script startSkinkBasic.sh you can get the right result. I got it.
If you have problems, you can PM me.

Thanks a lot Sergio, it works now.
Uhm… that software is quite crap though: can’t change intrument playing, can’t change speed, can’t (easily) start from somewhere different from the beginning of the tune etc… Isn’t there a better option?
