Having read the discussion about bang & co for quite a while

I have more or less implemented a full abc import/export of

I've been tinkering with it for so long that I can't remember all the new things since 1.0.0 but it's got a much whizzier interface and things like selecting print size and transposition. Oh yes, it doesn't fall
