I just looked at the online jazz song book (http://home.wanadoo.nl/atte/songbook/) and I was curious about how one of the fields was to be interpreted. The abc file has: v:chords "Am" x4 "GMaj" x4| ... v:melody abcd defg|...
And then at some point the chords and the melody are 'combined'. Is it always assumed that a voice has chords and melody, so we should always combine them like that? If that's true, how does that combine with the other uses of the voice line where there is a number following then v: symbol. Does each voice have a 'chord' and a 'melody' part, or is 'chord' and 'melody' special voices that are treated differently. I want to incorporate this behavior into my program because I like the convention, but I don't want to break other uses of the voice usage in the 7th symphony (which my program can parse, even though it doesn't all get displayed correctly).
