Agreed. I'm not an abc2win user, and don't currently have access to the "!" linebreak thing. I'd like to, it could improve readability a lot; but if it only works at the end of a text line we might as well stick with a text CR/LF linebreak. The only value to an explicit linebreak would be if it could occur anywhere in a text line. -- Richard Robinson "The whole plan hinged upon the natural curiosity of potatoes" - S.
