You seem to forget that ABC players also should be able to make sense of the notation. I suggest the following: 1) [K:D exp _b _e ^f] will accept only lowercase accidentals that apply in all octaves. 2) [K:D oct _B,,, _e'' ^F] will accept octave sensitive key signature definitions. ====================================================== Only (1) will be adopted in the standard. Programs that have need for octave sensitive key sigs may implement (2) as a private extension. Irwin To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
