If Bryan will forgive me for quoting from his help file:
"The validation is based on Chris Walshaw’s published standards available
via the abc home page..."
Since the latest draft standard (
http://www.gre.ac.uk/~c.walshaw/abc/abc-draft.txt ) does not include the V
field and multiple voices it seems reasonable that a checker working to
that standard would flag errors.
There are several ABC programs that do support multiple voices - I thought
that there was a list of these somewhere but I can't find it. maybe I've
missed it. John Chambers' FAQ (
http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/ABC-FAQ.html ) includes a number of
lists of which programs support which features, but I don't see a list of
programs supporting V in there.
A little more digging around reveals the following list of programs, which
also includes some information about features they handle:
