I finally figured this out. Buried in the changelog for abcm2ps versions 3.0.13 and later is the line:
Move some non-standard decorations to deco.abc. I hope this isn't old news to most of this list, but for anyone needing !mp! and other "non-standard" decorations, it is necessary to copy the file deco.abc to your music directory and strip off the last several lines of demonstration abc code. Then use abcpp to #include deco.abc in any .abc file that needs !mp!. It is also easy to define your own custom decorations in your local deco.abc file copy. Now I can finally upgrade to version 3.1.0. JF Eric Galluzzo wrote: > > Well, I can't claim to know why it disappeared, but oddly enough, !mp! > is missing from the 1.7 draft standard.
