I would suggest that all meta-comments should be prefixed with an appropriate string indicating the target. Like %%FMT-composerfont Times-Bold 32 so that any abc-accepting can easily filter relevant settings for its context.
Every abc exporting/writing program should write some fingerprint in every tune (not file) like: %%APP-ProgramName or whatever, safely to be ignored but probably useful for some other reason afterwards. I support the idea of marking the intended abc-version as a meta comment. %%VER-abc20 Where score layout is indeed a layout topic, I prefer the %%staves style: %%FMT-staves [1|2|3] a lot over V1: options V2: options V3: options Arent To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
