the first that come to mind are Beethoven's Symphony No. 7, Movement 2, http://www.ucolick.org/~sla/abcmusic/sym7mov2.html; some of Jean-Fran�ois classical music, http://moinejf.free.fr/; my own (http://abcplus.sourceforge.net/). Apart form these, I've come across several sinple-to-complex ABC files that used !...!; I suppose most classical music since 1.7.6 used this useful feature. Admittedly, some research I did showed that end-of-line bangs ! are _way_ more common than !...! symbols. However, my point is: why change something that 1) works, 2) doesn't prevent further development, 3) ensures backwards compatibility? Why some fellows have a burning desire to change end-of-line ! to * (or whatever ASCII character they fancy) simply beats me. My .02 c.
