Another not-very-consequential topic that will probably trigger a long discussion: In my jcabc2ps clone, I just added a bit of code that makes it recognize |]| and |[|, and generates a nice-looking thin+thick+thin triple bar line. This sorta worked before, but the code treated them as combinations of two symbols, and drew them with the spacing sorta funny.
I'd expect that most abc programs do accept these and draw something more or less like what you'd expect. Are there any programs that reject either of these in the middle of a staff? Of the programs that accept them, do they draw the three bar lines with equal spacing? I'm also considering adding some kludgery to make |][| look nicer than it does. The middle space is too wide. This is probably not one of the great issues of the day ... To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
