This is what the new standard-in-development has to say about it: line breaking To force a line break at all times, a star (*) can be used. The star can be inserted everywhere, where a note group could. Deprecated line breaking The abc2win program used a `!' character to force line breaks, as is currently supported with the * operator (see section Line breaking). The abc2win usage obviously conflicts with the !...! style notation for musical symbols (see section Musical symbols). To support both abc2win legacy code, and current ABC, the following algorithm is proposed: When encountering a !, scan forward. If you find any of "|[:]", a space, or the end of line, it is a line break. Otherwise, it marks the beginning of a musical symbol. Users should avoid using ! line breaks together with !...! symbols.
