Hello D.Ipsum. Yes it is a representation. Code is explained at abcnotation.com. Kinda strange nobody know about it.
Simply X is index, T is name, C is creator, M is size of beat, L is duration of note, K is key, m in key means major, minor else.
Because the key is D#m, CDEFGAB is D#FGG#A#B#D.
Small letters are violin octave, big are bass octave.
Number means long note, A5 is five times longer than A.
| means end of the beat. Every beat except first have length 8, because of M.
That's not fully correct but that's enough to understand.
There is a program named EasyABC. It also includes abc2midi tool in its program files.
I also wanted to ask how to add second voice, accompaniment and chorus. If any required.
