I can generate accompaniment chords for 3/2 hornpipes (using the chord generator in ABCMus), but when I try to play back the tune from within EasyABC, the chords do not sound - there is no template for 3/2 tunes built in to EasyABC (or possibly into abc2midi, I guess?). I've read the relevant parts of Guido Gonzato's manual, but I'm not sure I've fully understood it, because although I've tried to create a couple of templates using the %%MIDI gchord ...... directive, I've had only indifferent success...🙁 Can any of the real experts out there suggest a %%MIDI gchord ...... incantation which will provide an acceptable sounding accompaniment for 3/2 hornpipes (or for 3/2 tunes in general, for that matter)? Should I also be including %%MIDI beat and/or %%MIDI beatstring directives to complement the %%MIDI gchord directive? I don't seem to be able to get my head around this little part of ABC...🙁 Thank you
