-====== Welcome to my ABC Wiki ======
+====== ABC Wiki ======
-In this wiki I(([[webmaster@selfthinker.org|Anika Henke]])) will store all my private sheet music (mainly songs). Due to copyright issues most of its content is restricted and can only be viewed by me and a few friends.
+This is a wiki (a website that anyone can edit) with sheet music for various songs and other musical pieces.\\
+The sheet music is written in [[https://abcnotation.com/|abc]], a musical notation language.
-But all **[[trad:index|traditional music]]** can be viewed and edited by all visitors!
+There are different sections:
+  * **[[trad:index|traditional music]]** can be viewed and edited by everyone
+  * [[copy:index|copyrighted music]] can only be viewed by a select group of people
+  * music on personal user pages cannot be viewed by anyone except the registered user who added it
-===== What is ABC? =====
+The wiki uses [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/|DokuWiki]] and the [[https://www.dokuwiki.org/plugin:abc2|ABC2 Plugin]].\\
-ABC is a musical notation language. See http://abcnotation.org.uk/ for more information.
+You can use the [[http://abcnotation.com/wiki/abc:standard:v2.1|abc syntax]] when it's surrounded by ''%%<abc>%%'' and ''%%</abc>%%''.\\
+You can transpose each piece by adding the number of semitones, e.g. ''%%<abc 7 -5>%%''.\\
+The rest uses [[:wiki:syntax|wiki syntax]].
-===== How to use the wiki =====
+You can try everything out in the **[[playground:playground|playground]]**.
-You can try out the [[wiki:syntax]] in the **[[playground:playground|playground]]**.
-===== How to use ABC on this wiki =====
-If you already know how to use ABC: Just type in a complete abc tune (beginning with X:) surrounded by ''%%<abc>%%'' and ''%%</abc>%%''. That will output an image of the sheet music, linked to the corresponding midi file.
-It is even possible to transpose each abc automatically. Just add the amount of semitones((which must be a number between -23 and 23)) as one or more ((up to seven)) parameters after ''%%<abc%%'', e.g. ''%%<abc 7 -5>%%'' will transpose a fifth up and a fourth down and will display the transpositions beneath the original key.
-===== Credits =====
