There are examples of %%multicol at the beginning of sample3.abc which
is part of the abcm2ps package.
In simple words, %%multicol is just a way to restart printing upper
in the page. '%%multicol start' memorizes the position in the page,
'%%multicol new' restores this position and the margins, and
'%%multicol end' skips down to let place for the highest column.
You have to explicitly adjust the left and right margins for each
column; the program does not check them.
As each %%multicol flushes the output buffer, you cannot use
%%continueall, and, actually, problems occur when a column goes to
a new page.
About text alignment, you may only left align, center or justify.
Here is an example:
%%scale 1.5
%%multicol start % 1st column: music on the left
%%rightmargin 13cm
AAAA|
%%multicol new % 2nd column: text in the middle
%%rightmargin 8cm
%%leftmargin 8cm
%%center centered
%%center text
%%multicol new % 3rd column: music on the right
%%leftmargin 13cm
AAAA|
%%multicol end
