I said it could be adviced to use it with care. If someone is using this kind of notation ...|!dead!trill!beef|... then one has made a mistake because it could be misunderstood. It's also the reason why I think in the 2.0 standard * should be used for forced line break instead. And why a mistake ? because if one would have written ...|! dead !trill!beef |... then some parsers may have avoid the error. And if one had thought to another way of putting this trill, either with U: or ~ or with a new line ...| dead !trill!beef|... etc.
It's like the question of using a %%version 2.0 in tunes, the general answer is "ppl will never enter this number if they don't feel the use to it", it's the same with all other information, some pple will never enter X: fields, some may input unreadable abc... well if people are not parcimonious, it's their problem... Including the version used would be a good idea for those who would need it. >Now that ! staffbreak is available in abcm2ps, it's a reasonable /.../ >!decorations!.
