I usually use "#"A or "b"A to show editorial accidentals.
About the barlines, I would primarily say no, lets give the source as
pure as possible, but maybe for the sake of usability just add a note:
no barlines in the source. I would find it much better to write the
music voice after voice. It is not really possible to read the four
voices in paralell in the abc text anyway and it is complicate to
extract parts for playing.
I still find that programmers should enable voice after voice input. The
way it is here simply mixes up text matters and layout matters (not your
fault).
