Sure. :-)

I do also inside of each X: tune.

You cannot specify a different title, source, author,... to the P: part.

But what we play for example in Breton suites are a link of different
tunes from various origins. abc2ps is OK with that but not abc2midi.

I could also add an option to abc2midi to skip the tune separation...
