In abcm2ps, the number and types of arguments are hardly coded.
One way is to include postscript sequences before the music lines:
- in the header:
% -- draw "any" indication
%%postscript /displaycustom { % usage: len x y displaycustom
%%postscript exch -9 add exch 2 copy
%%postscript M 0 10 rmoveto /Times-Roman 16 selectfont texttodisplay
show
%%postscript M 0 6 rlineto currentpoint stroke M
%%postscript 30 add 0 rlineto currentpoint stroke M
%%postscript 0 -6 rlineto stroke
%%postscript } bdef
%%postscript /texttodisplay () def
- in the tune:
%%postscript /texttodisplay (some text) def
.. !1(!ABc!1)!d ..
If there is more than one indication in the line, you should define
so many macros and decorations with different text variables :(.
