Thanks for the pointer, Eric. The 2.11.3 version is from
http://moinejf.free.fr/, and listed there as the "last stable release".
Actually, I wasn't even aware of the abc.sf.net page. The links on the
abcplus homepage, http://abcplus.sourceforge.net/, only supply precompiled
binaries for Windoze. (I am currently working on my Windoze box because I
upgraded my Linux box to Mandrake 8.2 and can't get anything related to
MIDI working on it.) The links on http://moinejf.free.fr/ contain tarballs
of source files along with a makefile for MinGW, and that's what I've been
working with. I just failed to check that page for updated versions, as I
thought there would be some offline discussion before my patch got
assimilated.

There is now a version 3.1.0 available on http://moinejf.free.fr/, which I
just downloaded and built. It has my page numbering patch in it, but still
no !mp! decorations. I need !mp! for my choral music, and I can't figure
out why it dissappeared from version 3. The version 2 changelog has it
appearing back in 2.2.7, and it is nicely handled in deco.c of 2.11.3, but
not in deco.c of 3.1.0, and running 3.1.0 gives error messages. So I guess
I'll be using the older version for now.

Thanks, I'll check this out. I initially thought I'd add some options for
page numbering at the bottom as well, but that would collide with the
"footer" facility in abcm2ps, and virtually all of the choral scores I am
trying to emulate use numbering at the top anyway.
