AbcMus is a program for tunebooks in ABC format, created by Henrik Norbeck. AbcMus 2.0 runs under Windows 95, 98, NT4, ME, 2000 and XP.

AbcMus 2.0 has the following features:

Playback with a nice, definable style, via the sound card. Makes the tunes worth listening to. The best ABC player software so far?
Play only part of a tune. Simply mark the part you want to play.
Fast search for a text through all your ABC files (composer, name, etc).
Loose match option for search. Handy when names are spelled in several ways.
Powerful music search to match a melody or tune, even finding transposed tunes or variations.
Automatic chordsetting utility, transposing of tunes and other abc tools.
Easy handling of ABC tunebooks. Copy, move and edit tunes, etc.
Automated generation of tune lists, cheat sheets, tune indexes, etc, with flexible format.

Save tunes as MIDI files.

Due to the current financial crisis state of large parts of the global economy, I've decided to make AbcMus freeware.
