The latest changes to the standard http://www.joods.nl/~chazzanut/abc/abc2-draft.html to reflect the discussion of today:
2.1. Remarks A '%' symbol will cause the remainder of any input line to be ignored. It can be used to add remarks to the end of an ABC line. Alternatively, you can use the syntax [r: remarks] to write remarks in the middle of a line of music. 2.2. Continuation of input lines If the last (non-space, non-remark) character on a line is a backslash (\), the next line should be appended to the current one, overwriting the backslash and any spaces or remarks that follow it, to make one long logical line. If the user would like to have a space between the two half lines, he should either type one before the backslash, or at the beginning of the next half line. Example: gf|e2dc B2A2|B2G2 E2D2|.G2.G2 \ % continuation GABc|d4 B2 w: Sa-ys my au-l' wan to your aul' wan\ Will~ye come to the Wa-x-ies dar-gle? There is no limit to the number of lines that may be appended together. 11. ABC Stylesheet specification An ABC stylesheet consists of directives which are interspersed in a normal ABC file, or collected in an ABC Header file (see section Include field). These are lines that _start_ with '%%', followed by keywords that give indications to typesetting or player programs. Some examples could be: %%papersize A4 %%pagebreak %%loudness 0.3 Alternatively, the directives may be contained in an I: (instruction) field: I:papersize A4 I:pagebreak I:loudness 0.3 There may be given only one directive per I: field. The inline field notation may be used to give a directive in the middle of a line of music: CDEFG[I:loudness 0.3]ABc If a program doesn't recognise a directive, it should just ignore it. =================== As always, your feedback is welcomed.
