Yes, but what does abc2win do with an exclamation mark in the middle
of a line? I fail to see the necessity for any more text delimiters
in the music. User-defined symbols should remain as they are,
represented by single letters in the range H..Z. Not that the
!segno! type of useage will pose any problems for BarFly users, since
they can just use a global macro like this:
m: !segno! = W
which will replace every instance of !segno! with the single character
W before parsing. W is the default symbol for a segno (although that
in turn can be redefined using the U: field).
