John Henckel remarked:
| I don't think the abc standard should allow K:^g _a ^b
I.e., you don't think ABC should be used to transcribe music that
uses scales other than the classical western-European modes. Or, if
people insist on doing such a thing, they should be forced to use a
classical key signature and clutter the music with accidentals to get
it into the right scale.
But I am curious: What sort of a scale would use ^G_A^B? I don't
think I've ever heard such a scale. Presumably the ^G and _A would
have slightly different (microtonal) intonation. The huge gap from _A
to ^B makes it look like some sort of pentatonic scale. What's the
tonic (if there is one)?
