Hi,
To introduce myself: I have an interest in the usability of ASCII file formats
for music composition by blind musicians.
My question:
In the case of the proposed V: extension to the abc file format, is it proposed
to be legal notation to have more than 2 occurences of, for example, V:1,
I post this as a separate thread, since it's a general ABC issue, not
specifically a renaissance one:

Without wanting to re-open the whole can of worms re: the V: field
Someone recently (?) posted a URL for a web page which compared the
existing variant implementations of the V: voices field. I've now lost
the link - can anyone help with that address?

I think I understood it OK. Perhaps the word Synch is a bit confusing,

Well, abc2ps rejects this, but it handles:

On user-friendliness grounds, I'd think that both should be legal.
But this implies something else: Users would then have to "declare"

I have a small suggestion regarding the V: field and global parameters.
This isn't something I've implemented, just an idea I had. I'd like to
know if other people think it is useful or not.
The idea is that we introduce another V: directive
V:SYNC
which marks the point in the abc where all

So then why not use inline V: fields for this case?

No real reason except that it takes a couple of extra symbols, and
involves placing an inline field at the start of a line, which seems
a bit redundant.

I think the answer to the first part is "sporadically". It is indeed
a great lack of the current draft that the V: field is not discussed.
