Another bug: When I clicked on close after I made some changes,
I got a dialog window asking me if I really wanted to close.
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?
