Changing abcm2ps to use *...* instead of !...! (it accepts ! for a linebreak already) would be a matter of minutes work for Jef. Changing ABC2Win is not possible. Changing all of the existing files which use !...! to use *...* is just a matter of search and replace; there are not many of them and we know where they are. Changing the existing ABC2Win files is not possible because there are many thousands of them and they're everywhere.
It's the only logical way.
I use the !decoration! syntax in my tunes. If the rest of you would finally agree to use *decoration* instead, I am more than willing to replace all instances in my collection. It's just as Phil says: since abc2win isn't supported anymore, we can't change it. !decoration! is more recent and I really think that most abc tunes on the web that use it are still maintained. Adapting it really shouldn't be a probem.
Come on guys, let's get this over with finally!
Cheers,
bert
