abcmidi Package Installation on Mac

About abcmidi : Converts abc music notation files to MIDI files!

The abcMIDI package was created by James Allwright in the 1990’s in C code. About 20 years ago, he asked me to take over the support and maintenance of the code. I have been correcting bugs and adding new features since then. (See doc/CHANGES in the source code distribution.)abc is a computer language for notating music in plain text format. It was introduced by Chris Walshaw in 1993 when Windows 3 and MSDOS were the main operating systems on personal computers.
