I've been doing a lot of stuff lately where it make sense to indicate where text lines in a song finish, without doing full-on underlay of the sort allowed for by the w: construct.
The way I've been doing it is the way old hymnbooks did it, using double bars. But this seems rather heavyweight and clashes with ABC's repeat syntax. Would a special symbol help anybody else? "!!" maybe (in the hope that abc2win's "!" gets into the standard and hence becomes reserved). Note that in BarFly (and any other program with the same attitude to linebreaks) this would HAVE to allow a staff break as a barline or double bar does at present, there'd be no point in having it otherwise - you don't want to start a text line on the last note of a staff line, which is what would happen where lines begin with upbeats. =================== <http://www.purr.demon.co.uk/jack/> =================== To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
