Although it's a slightly different point to Richard's one, I discovered
a new (to me) feature of ABC2WIN, when putting together a whole file of
abc's from different sources. Providing there is an "X:" at the
beginning of each tune, if you open the file in ABC2WIN **and save it**,
the program automatically inserts X: numbers all through the file. Beats
putting them in manually!!
