I then hit "Escape" and the program closed anyway!BarFly will do something similar - the escape key is interpreted as meaning "I don't care", and the window (but not the whole program) will close. If you really want to change your mind click on the Cancel button. Perhaps there's a different convention on the PC?That could well be! On PCs the convention is that Escape works as a shortcut for clicking Cancel, while Enter is a shortcut for clicking OK.As you see in my example, the input looks much nicer if both notes and words are aligned with "|" signs. This is explicitly allowed by the ABC draft standard.Presumably the bar lines are not to be drawn in the lyrics?They are not drawn in the output; they're used to align syllables to the corresponding measures. If there are not as many syllables as notes in a measure, typing a "|" automatically advances to the next bar; if there are enough syllables the "|" is just ignored.Also because neither the program nor I knows what \- means.It is used to put multiple hyphenated syllables under ONE note. Also part of the draft standard.OK. I support the tilde for multiple syllables under one note, but I hadn't seen that.The tilde works more or less the same way, but places a space between the syllables instead of a hyphen. Maybe these two issues should be clarified a little in the upcomming standard?
