Can someone explain the problem with quotes after a bar line, please? Wouldn't it be best to avoid unmatched bracket symbols? The following works perfectly well with ABC2Win:
CEC DED |1-3 EGE FAF :|2,4 EFG FED :|"last time" EFG ABc| Flos Quote from John Chambers: - I've also been contemplating solving the need for random text such as "last time" under an ending bracket. This obviously needs quotes, and has syntax problems after a bar line. What I think would work is to say that you must use the '[' in this case, and you can then write |: CEC DED |1-3 EGE FAF :|2,4 EFG FED :|["last time" EFG ABc :| ...... The description then would say that the actual ending syntax is: ["text" This would be followed by saying that the quotes may be omitted if the text contains only the characters "0123456789,-", and the bracket may be omitted immediately after a (single) bar line '|'. In the usual cases, the bracket and quotes will be omitted; the full ending syntax is expected to be rare. To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
