+Introduction
+
+abc is a language designed to notate tunes in an ascii
+format. It was designed primarily for folk and traditional tunes of
+Western European origin (such as English, Irish and Scottish) which
+can be written on one stave in standard classical notation. However,
+it is extendible to many other types of music and recently Steve Allen
+has coded Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, Movement 2 in abc! Since its
+introduction at the end of 1991 it has become very popular and there
+now exist several Windows, Mac, Palmtop and UNIX based tools which can
+read abc notation and either process it into staff notation or play it
+through the speakers of a computer.
+
+One of the most important aims of abc notation, and perhaps one that
+distinguishes it from most, if not all, computer-readable musical
+languages is that it can be easily read by humans. In other words,
+with a little practice, it is possible to play a tune directly from
+the abc notation without having to process and print it out. Even if
+this isn't of interest, the resulting clarity of the notation makes it
+fairly easy to notate tunes. In addition, the ability to write music
+in abc notation means that it can be easily and portably stored or
+transported electronically hence enabling the discussion and
+dissemination of music via email. \ No newline at end of file
