See #304539: ABC import fails
In reply to (No subject) by Jojo-Schmitz
Any update on this?
Certainly not here, ad a duplicate it is basically closed and inactive. Updates, it any, would be in #304539: ABC import fails. But up to now there are none, except for a workaround being mentioned there
Is there any hope that this may be fixed in the near future?
I have switched to MuseScore now for processing and printing all my old ABC tunes and this broken add-on is especially frustrating.
The XML workaround on a mac is not so straightforward (I'm not so command line oriented) so it would be great if the add-on could be fixed.
Again: certainly not here, but via that other issue
Which also lists some workarounds
"Fatal error: line 5 column 7 Opening and ending tag mismatch." For past two days i have been getting the same error message. tried to find a download for the ABC import plugin, but no joy there. In a way i am glad it is not just something on my PC and laptop but a more general fault that has suddenly happened. Very limiting as I import a lot of ABC files. Let's hope a solution is found soon.
YES, THAT IS WHAT THAT OTHER ISSUE IS ABOUT
See the workaround in that other issue
