Sorry for I did not resist: I added the drum clef and 'x' note head
in the latest abcm2ps version (3.1.15).
The drum clef is defined by 'clef=P' or simply 'perc' in the K: or V:

There have been many proposals for V: in ABC, but as it seems the
standard advances very slowly, I would just ask Phil about its comment in
the 'Shingly Beach...s' thread:

Hello,
I have some questions about the accents and other signs as defined in
the ABC draft:
- !open!, !snap! and !thumb!
Could anybody tell to me what are the glyphs and the implementation
rules for these signs?
- !invertedfermata!
Shall this sign be drawn above or below the staff?

Hello Frank,
Here are some information about abcm2ps and tclabc/tkabc.
Both are developped on PC/Linux and checked on Sparc/Solaris. They are
released under the GPL (freeware).
- abcm2ps should work on any 32/64 bits system with an ANSI C compiler
(i.e: KO on DOS, except with small files).

I see ::, but no :|: in the actual standard/draft. Do we have to
