If you are logged on - open the Tune, go to Download and open the .gif file with a browser and print from there.
If you are not logged on, you can cut and paste the ABC data into an ABC program and print.
You may need a special piece of software installed in your computer . . . . I use "MidiNotate", its a very simple to use and gives great results. There's a 30 day free trial available.
I guess there is no easy way to do this? What were your results?
I Saved the .gif, and imported it into my I.E. Browser, and even into my MS Word. Did not work very well as the .gif file is "extremely" small in the upper left corner of any document.
When I try to expand the .gif, there is a checkered "background" in the file and I don't want to print that.
It looks to me like the music in thesession.org is not really offered to members to print?
Harry: I don't use ABC notation -- are you saying that an ABC program can interpret ABC notation and then print it as music?
Er...Greg, that IS the easy way to do it. Basically, you can do it several different ways, but the easiest is to (if you're on a PC platform) right click on the gif of the sheet music, and choose either print picture (and let it print right out from the page) or save picture, save it somewhere you can find it on your computer again, and then open it using any software app that allows you to see a gif and print it through that.
If you want to print it bigger, you're going to have to take it into a program that allows you to resize a gif, and you'll probably get "jaggies" from the pixels.
The concertina.net abc converter mentioned above is especially good because you can print out the music in a PDF form that is larger and easier to read. It does reject some abc's if it doesn't think they're proper.

And yes, many ABC programs will print ABC notation as music for you, and there's even two or three free ones out on the Net -- the one at http://www.concertina.net is a good one, and so is the one at JC's : http://ecf-guest.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/ABCcontrib.html

Re: How to Print a tune?
OOOOh this is a useful thread. I was going to devote today to finding an ABC program to down load. Now I have the answer.
Thanks everyone!

abc2win works great and you can make the notes REALLY BIG if you want.
