both a meter (M:C comes to mind) and separately the behaviour of accidentals?

I don't see any discussion of the relationship between accidentals and barlines. This is important, because in order to translate ABC, which records the appearance of a note in staff notation, into, e.g., MIDI or lilypond, which records the absolute pitch of the note, you need to know how long an accidental persists. The _de facto_ standard, as introduced by me into both abc2midi and abc2ly, is that the directive:
%%MIDI nobarlines
indicates that there are no barlines dividing the measures, so an accidental applies only to the note it's on, and not to all the notes until the end of the piece. It's really necessary to be able to specify this.
