Add (melodeon) button numbers or note names to ABC music files
This Python script will add "lyrics" to ABC Notation music files containing the melodeon button numbers corresponding to each note. It uses Ed Rennie's system (i.e. outer row odd), and prefixes pull notes with a ^.
To use:
./abcmelodeon.py infile outfile
where infile and outfile are the input and output abc music files.
The program takes an optional --mappings argument. This should be supplied
with one or more "mappings": dRow, gRow (which will print "Ed Rennie" style button numbers for a Hohner D/G box), or noteNames (which will print the names of each note).
By default both the D and G row notes will be printed, which helps when trying to work out how to cross rows.
For example, to annotate mytune.abc with G row and note names to the file mytune_out.abc:
./abcmelodeon.py --mappings gRow,noteNames mytune.abc mytune_out.abc
(note no space between gRow and noteNames)
