| MusiCAD can read and [[save_as|write]] most multi-voice '''abc-tunes''' from other sources. Since abc-tunes are designed to be written manually you may often need to edit an abc-tune al little bit to get rid of some anomalies/errors produced in hand-writing and/or differences in software. Much more information regarding ABC notation can be found at [http://abcnotation.org.uk http://abcnotation.com].

| | |
| After opening an abc-file you can instruct MusiCAD to use a special [[file_options_dialog|template]] to create a uniform layout for all abc-read tunes.
| |
| | |
| Abc-files can be edited in source form within MusiCAD: [<span><span class="Menukey">View|Textdisplay</span></span>]
| |
| | |
| An abc-example is listed below.
| |
| | |
| <span><span class="Literal">X:1<br />
| |
| T:Astleys Ride<br />
| |
| M:4/4<br />
| |
| L:1/8<br />
| |
| K:D<br />

| | |
| On opening a multi-tune abc-file you are presented a screen like below:
| |
| | |
| [[File:abc-tune1.jpg|415x409px|abc-tune1.jpg]]
| |
| | |
| From left to right is shown:
| |
| | |
| * sequence number within the .abc-file
| |
| * A if the tune contains chords (or something like it) W if a tune contains a text-block or w is the tune contains note-aligned [[lyrics|lyrics]].
| |
| | |
| On abc-import the abc-key-fields are copied to corresponding MusiCAD text-fields:

| |
| | |
| When exporting a tune as abc-file, the reverse is performed, note however that there is no 1 to 1 correspondence between abc-key-fields and MusiCAD text fields.
| |
| | |
| A large part of the long awaited abc-2.0 standard is implemented with a few exceptions:
| |
| | |
| * abc-macro's (unlikely to be going implemented ever)
| |
| * redefineable symbols
