All the files in this directory except two are text files, and most of them are
examples of PMW input files. Comments explain what they do. The non-text files
are ConcatArabicChars.zip, which contains a JavaScript application for
converting Arabic words into suitable PMW escape sequences, and
CustomBuiltKeySig.zip, which contains another JavaScript application for
generating PMW escape sequences for non-standard key signatures. The
contributor of these sent the following notes regarding the Arabic strings
coding utility:
- Syllables for lyrics now support using #, in addition to -.
- But for other strings, e.g. in headers, it's impossible to use either
a full-stop (for abbreviations, for example) or a colon (as in "Lyrics by:
***").
- The Arabic font used simply does not contain such glyphs in the
first place.
- If the text contains more than one such punctuation marks, the job of
slicing and swapping the text fragments would be next to impossible.
