No Brian, it is disregarding the standard. If someone needs to use a symbol, it is much better that it is agreeed by everyone and that it gets written into the standard. If it had been agreed that ! could be used as a line break and that had been documented in the abc standard, I doubt that the ! would have been considered as the symbols for the macros. > >Forget about it. > > I can't. It is widely used in the abc files that I am interested in. Difficult one... As far as I'm concerned, abc2win is obsolete and I only really care about programs that are being actively developed and can move on when there is a need but there are perhaps far too many files written in this program warrant supporting ! as a line break...
