From Irwin's standard -
8.3. Accidental directives
%%propagate-accidentals not | octave | pitch
When set to not, accidentals apply only to the note
they're attached to. When set to octave, accidentals
also apply to all the notes of the same pitch in the
same octave up to the end of the bar. When set to
pitch, accidentals also apply to all the notes of the
same pitch in all octaves up to the end of the bar.
The default value is pitch.
but as Richard Robinson points our elsewhere -
All these %%whatever usages are
based on the point that the first character makes it a comment, and thus
anything behind that will be ignored by any ABC application unless it takes
the trouble specifically to look for it.
If this one is ignored, it will affect the playback of tunes. It is a
necessary function but it should be part of the abc standard not part of the
stylesheet specification.
That's my point about trying to get organised namespaces for these
things. We need a coherent way of organising all the magic words so
that people, and software, can see what sort of things they apply to
and when they can safely be ignored. (And I suppose some of those
spaces should be in the standard, and others off somewhere quieter).
