How so? I'd think it would be easier to write the parts as separate
files, and then combine them. Don't most MIDI packages let you read
in separate MIDI files and play them simultaneously? If you can do
this, you don't loically need ABC's V: lines; you can just write each
part as a separate "tune" and combine them at will.

Maybe I should check that my tune finder has the current version ...
