Yes. 

I wrote "line break" because I do not understand the abc "guitar chords"
only as guitar chords, but more general as arbitrary text printed above
a note. This includes guitar chords, basso continuo figures and dynamic
marks.

Admittedly \n is not very consistent, because abc mostly uses the TeXish
\\ for line breaks.
