Changing abcm2ps to use *...* instead of !...! (it accepts ! for

So the bottom line is: it would be nice if both !

To force a line break at all times, a star (*) can be
used. The star can be inserted everywhere, where a note
group could.
Deprecated line breaking
The abc2win program used a `!' character to force line
breaks, as is currently supported with the *

It would be more accurate to say that !...! conflicts
with the abc2win usage and is far less widely used.
