prone:
//C //C
and //C//C
look pretty similar, but most parsers use C// as a synonym for C/4

The one thing I'm missing is putting the slashes on the stems of the

pretty postscript output,
There are two solutions here. The first is, as has been suggested, include these as "decorations" e.g. !roll-types!; that could be added into the standard right now. Then alias them with one of the letters H--Z for use in the abc itself. This might be generally useful, since I gather that these also occur as tremolo markers in string music.
A more elegant solution, which is bound to be done...manana...is to develop an abc percussion notation, starting from the beginning. This might be possible, because some presently-used abc notation will be freed in a percussion clef. The problem, of course, is that it requires someone who *really* knows about percussion to do this. Any candidates? (Vicious circle: Drummers don't use abc because abc doesn't cater to drummers because drummers don't use...)
