I think it is reasonable to require |: at the start of a repeat section
Not given the amount of ABC out there that doesn't have one.
Like all of mine.
And I am NOT interested in re-editing the whole damn lot to please
simpleminded fussbudget implementations.

Going back to || or [| isn't a very good idea. It's common practice
to use double bars to mark the major phrases within a section, and
they are (almost) never used as repeat boundaries. The code should go
back to |: or the start of the tune. We oughta state this in the
