You could add abc2win's use of the exclamation mark, and it's insistence on having the notes in chords in a particular order. Also, I don't think any programs other than abc2mtex implements section headers (section headers are really only possible to deal with in a program which reads through an abc file linearly - programs which treat abc files in a random access fashion as all of the GUI applications do find this very difficult). But you are right, the 1.6 standard is mostly adhered to very closely. Phil Taylor To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
