That's right, but then when you receive an ABC file you need a way to
figure out whether the numerals are meant as guitar fingering,
concertina cross fingering or breath strength on the Nepalese nose
trombone -- preferably before you get yourself in a big knot. We would
probably need to put in a header saying
%%fingering concertina
or some such, and software might have the option of including the
fingering only if it was desired. Personally while I can see the merit
of providing guitar or concertina fingering in principle, as a pianist I
don't have a use for it and it would only clutter up my sheet music.
