cover:

* What you need to do to display music on-screen.
* How to go about printing music.

I don't know of one - it sounds like a good idea. It would be useful to

I'm writing a rather comprehensive guide on typesetting music with abc, but
Buddha Buck said -
I have seen a couple of pieces of music, typeset with NoteWorthy that
uses nested repeats. The outer repeats (which covered the entire
work) were drawn light, while the inner repeats were drawn bold.

because folklorists like to write
My theory is that once upon a time, the repeat sign consisted of two
dots (:), and always coincided with a bar line.
An interesting theory, but I don't buy it because your symbol is
symmetrical and so you can't tell the difference between a start
repeat and a end repeat. Suppose your music
