Command line options ==================== The list of the command line options may be known running: 'abcm2ps -h' When an option starts with '+', this one is disabled. List of the options -------------------GO TO INDEX GO TO TOP

-E, +E Produce EPS output instead of simple PS. In this mode, each tune goes to a different file which name is '<name>nnn.eps' or <title>.eps (see option '-O' - 'nnn' is a sequence number incremented at each tune). EPS files are normally embedded into Postscript documents, but they may be a way to generate graphical images. For example, using GhostScript: abcm2ps voices -E -e7 gs -sDEVICE=pngmono -r80 -g590x174 \ -dBATCH -dNOPAUSE \ -sOutputFile=quitolis.png Out001.eps (the values for -g are the values of the bounding box in the .eps, multiplied by (80 / 72), where 80 is the value for -r, and 72 is the default resolution)GO TO INDEX GO TO TOP
-e<list> Select the tunes inside an ABC file. <list> is a comma separated list of items (tune numbers). Each selector applies to the previous associated ABC file. An item may be a single index value (as indicated in the 'X:' field), or a range of such values. A range is indicated as <first_index>-<last_index>. The last index may be omitted meaning 'last tune of file'. Example: abcm2ps voices -e 5,2-4 newfeatures -e5- Note: Filtering may raise problems, mainly on global definitions.GO TO INDEX GO TO TOP
-F<file>, +F Read the format (or PostScript) file <file>. When omitted, the default type of a format file is '.fmt'. In the form '+F', the default format file ('default.fmt') is not read.GO TO INDEX GO TO TOP

-N<int>, +N Number the pages. <int> indicates the mode: 0 no page numbers 1 at top left 2 at top right 3 at top left on even pages, top right on odd pages 4 at top right on even pages, top left on odd pages For compatibility with previous versions, '+N' is the same as '-N0', and '-N' is the same as '-N2'. If a header is defined ('%%header'), this option is ignored.GO TO INDEX GO TO TOP
-n, +n See: format.txt - writehistory <bool>GO TO INDEX GO TO TOP
-O[<directory>][<name>], +O Define the output file directory and/or name. By default, the output file goes to the current directory with a name 'Out.ps' for PS, and 'Outnnn.eps' for EPS (see option '-E'). With this option, the file name may be <name> or <name>nnn.eps. If <name> is '=', the output file is the name of the ABC source file with the extension '.ps' for PS, or the title of the tune for EPS. If <name> is '-', the result is output on stdout (PS only). '+O' resets the output file directory and name to their defaults.GO TO INDEX GO TO TOP
