Re: [abcusers] char
There's another way to represent the multiple-bar rests you want that has more general application: a length modifier that would allow you to extend any note or chord over multiple bars. Say [c/e/g/]5 for 5 bars of c triads half the default notelength long, with being the do this for a whole bar sign. Is the characted implemented as above in standard ABC? I couldn't find it in the standards documentation. It seems to be quite useful... No it isn't. I suggested it on the principle that if we're going to use up yet another character we'd better get as much use out of it as possible, and this construct does far more than the proposed Z while taking up the same amount of lexical lebensraum. === http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/ === To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

Actually, I wanted to represent two voices on one staff, where one voice has stems up and one voice stems down.
