Me too. Not only does this make parsing easier, it also draws attention to the pseudocomment, which otherwise gets lost in the abc. As Bryan says, a backslash followed by a comment at the end of a line is not ruled out by abc 1.6, and I think it important that we keep the new standard a superset of the 1.6 standard. Not that I've ever seen an abc tune which used this, and it doesn't work in BarFly. Currently this works OK: ABcd ABcd | ABcd%comment\ ABcd|] while this doesn't: ABcd ABcd | ABcd\% comment ABcd|] I suppose I ought to fix it, but it doesn't exactly seem like an urgent job.
