# QAbc
ABC music notation minimal GUI.

## Dependencies
QAbc uses third-party softwares to generate MIDI, AUDIO, and PostScript files. Without them, QAbc would be very poor (only a little fancy text editor). So, please install them:

- abc2midi (BIN)
- fluidsynth (BIN)
- abcm2ps (BIN)
- zathura (BIN) or any other PostScript viewer
- Qt 5.x or 6.x (LIB)

On Debian-based systems, this should do the trick:
```
sudo apt install qt6-base-dev qt6-tools-dev qt6-tools-dev-tools fluidsynth abcm2ps abcmidi zathura-ps
```

## Building
Just a matter of:
```
$ cd qabc
$ qmake6 -config release
$ make
# make install (as root)
```

## Starting
Launch `qabc`, type some ABC music in the editor, press `Play` button: you're done!

## Bugs
Lots of!

## Colophon
This project is (was), as of version 0.1, a one-night project because I wanted to be more comfortable with ABC notation and I could not find a GUI software that could run on my laptop.
