Compiling ABC Blocks
In basic-mode the key sequence C-c C-c within an ABC block
will compile the block. Exporting of all blocks and Org file contents
is initialted with the sequence C-c C-e (standard Org-mode export keys).
Setup
Simply add abc to your list of babel languages (in your init file):
(org-babel-do-load-languages 'org-babel-load-languages '((emacs-lisp . t) (shell t) (org . t) (abc . t))) ; <==== This is the line to add
Requirements
Issues
Issues should be reported to the Org-mode Mailing-list.
