| False: look at 'voices.abc' (abc2ps-1.3.0): you will see an implicit
| voice and then the 'V:acc_1' and 'V:acc_2' switches.
Ah! I thought I'd seen one somewhere. In fact, I note that the first
tune has the order:
X:1
T: Fairfield Fancy % -----
K:Am
V:1 name="Intro" snm="In"
(music)
T: % note: force new indentation with empty title field
V:1 name="Melody" snm="Mel."
(music)
V:acc_1 name="Accomp I" snm="Acc. II"
L:1/4
(music)
V:acc_2 name="Accomp II" snm="Acc. II"
(music)
The V:1 voice is "declared" twice with different info, and then two
other voices with nonnumeric labels are introduced. Tricky!

I don't understand this at all. It's all obviously "wrong" in the
sense that the standard doesn't say anything (yet) about voices, so
none of it is legal ABC. But it's "right" in the sense that the
program accepts it and does what the user intended. You're obviously
using some third sense, but maybe my command of English isn't good
enough to figure it out.

If you don't need any of that other stuff. I suspect we might have a
few users who will like it, just as we'll have some users who like
the MIDI settings on a V: line. So maybe we should leave it out of
the standard, but have a cabal of implementers who sneakily provide
it all anyway.
(I'm just trying to overcome the recent accusation that I wasn't being
radical enough. ;-)
