One of the great apps - Version: 1.4.1, 7/30/2003 03:21PM PST

Phil has created a marvel, the split and join file functions seem to work seemlessly, creating crib sheets for gigs is a breeze, it is like an itunes for musos, it's just that Barfly was around long before itunes!
Printing is sufficient- but you can use one of the abc to ps convertors- again been doing that for years, easy enough to then create pdfs for the rest of the band!

for anyone doing abc on a Mac! Each version just gets better and better, and I couldn't *wait* for the Carbon version to come out, as it and Finale were my last two Classic holdouts. Much more strict in its adherence to the abc spec than most Windoze abc apps, which can can cause some headaches with files generated by (for example) abc2win, but worth it. Not really intended for printout, but perfectly functional as it is.
Now if only he'd port it to the Palm! ;-)
