Well, this might not be all that bad an idea. I've thought that it would be nice if a transcriber could write something like: K:?Adorian This would mean that the transcriber is guessing the key. The software would just ignore the '?', of course, and give ^f as the signature. But it would warn interested readers (humand and software) that the transcriber had some doubt about the accuracy of the key. Implementing this would be easy for most abc software: Just ignore the '?'. To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
