.SH NAME

\fBabc2abc\fP \fIfile\fP [ \fB-s\fP ] [ \fB-n\fP ] [ \fB-b\fP ]

.SH "DESCRIPTION"
.PP
.B abc2abc
is a simple abc checker/re-formatter/transposer.
It will check whether the \fIfile\fP given on the command line
obeys basic abc syntax.
It also attempts to linebreak at a \fB||\fP, \fB:|\fP, \fB|:\fP, or \fB::\fP.
.PP
If you want to check an abc tune,
it is recommended that you use
.B abc2midi
with the \fB-c\fP option.
This performs extra checks that
.B abc2abc
does not do.
.PP
The output of
.B abc2abc
goes to standard output.
Use redirection to save it to a file.
