Anyway, I think it's a better approach to let the software do the formatting of the music lines unless the user forces a line break, with for example the "!" notation found in the BNF standard. In general, software should not assume that an ABC file was meant to be print so it would bad to give to much weight to the exact position of newlines in the file.
