According to ABC 1.7.6, it's a roll: << $ The standard set of definitions (if you do not $ redefine them) is: $ U: ~ = !roll! $ U: T = !trill! $ U: H = !fermata! $ U: L = !emphasis! $ U: M = !lowermordent! $ U: P = !uppermordent! $ U: S = !segno! $ U: O = !coda! $ U: u = !upbow! $ U: v = !downbow! >> If the user wants different behaviour, he can change the definition. > [..] is the symbol for a chord, but I've seen +..+ also used The + notation has since long been deprecated. > Change of time sig (etc) can be done with [M:3/4] in > the middle of a line or M:3/4 on a line by itself. correct. > But I've seen music with M:3/4 without brackets in a > mid-line. incorrect.

All the standard says is : << Generally one line of abc notation will produce one line of music, although if the music is too long it will overflow onto the next line.>> So a newline does not force (but only suggests) a line break, and it is up to the program to come up with a sound layout algorithm.
