There is nowhere in any ABC spec that explicitly allows that yet, but it is common for medleys to be made up of tunes by different composers or from different sources, so the informational fields should be permitted within a tune body as applying to all voices. (Having different voices by different composers is possible, as in some mediaeval music, but much less common). And of course P: needs to be like this, so that the playing order for multi-voice music can be controlled in an intuitively obvious way. It's hard to see how %%Bfly directives could be done any differently if more than one per tune were allowed - these have to start a line. And I don't see any other way you could get some effects, e.g. varying the slur curvature within a single piece (I spend more time faking that with a graphics editor than in compensating for any other missing feature in BarFly). ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Jack Campin: 11 Third Street, Newtongrange, Midlothian EH22 4PU; 0131 6604760 <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack> * food intolerance data & recipes, Mac logic fonts, Scots traditional music files, and my CD-ROM "Embro, Embro". ------> off-list mail to "j-c" rather than "abc" at this site, please <------ To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
