ABC doesn't need to care about a legal definition or whether the field is used legitimately. What we do need to care about is that applications support a way of transforming whatever ABC uses to represent it into the appropriate symbols on score pages or the comment fields in sound files. Because these are essentially different, we need a new field to handle both - not just "make this glyph into a bitmap" or "embed this text". The operational aspects will be the same whether the rules that say whether the claim is being made correctly are being judged under US or German law. German books have copyright notices that look just the same as American ones, despite their laws being different. ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack> * food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM "Embro, Embro".
