Hello,
I love music including Carnatic. But can't sing.
I started to learn to play keyboard after my retirement and was looking for notes for both Western music and Tamil music.
..
Ended learning abc notation
abc | home (abcnotation.com) for western music and then came across
Carnatic Music Software and Web pages-Audio with Gamakam (tripod.com)and and started to communicate with Mr Subramanian who developed the above s/w.
Mr Subramanian's online player can be seen here
Carnatic Notation Player (tripod.com)
Then I was curious, in one of the abc forums I asked can any one write s/w to convert gka files(notation developd by Mr Subramanian) to abc notation.
The author of
ABC edit with abc2svg (free.fr) Jef and Seymour author of Runabc
Runabc and AbcMIDI and EasyAbc Support (ifdo.ca) shown interest and Jef has produced this
music source edit with txtmus (free.fr) This will convert Carnatic notation to abc notation, western music sheet and play the notes. It is in alpaha development stage.
To try
music source edit with txtmus (free.fr), open the link, copy the following starting from %% to the edit pane on the left. You will see the abc notation and music sheet on the right pane. You can play the music by right clicking on the music sheet and selecting Tune.
Regards
Thiru
