I still think my suggestion is more general, as it allows the internal part name (one letter) to be totally independent of the displayed text (Part description).
Remo's proposal would only allow one word (part name) to start with each letter. Therefore if there was a part Coda, there could not be any other part whose name started with C. (Using letters within a word would get confusing)

My program would reject (ignore) any part specification longer than one letter. Your proposal could lead to ambiguous part specifications, if one name matched part of another name.
Remo's proposal avoids the ambiguity by distinguishing the letter case. Is that not sufficient? Remo said (Sat, 23 Oct 2004 03:25:13 -0700):
"Each part name MUST begin with a upper case letter and may continue ONLY with lowercase letters and numbers"
P:AB -> "play part A then B" P:OvertureCoda -> "play part Overture then part Coda" P:OVERTURE CODA -> "play part O then V, then E, ..." P:intro -> ERROR
Also, for printing, Neil Jennings proposal - a letter for parts identification plus an optional string for parts names - should lead to a need of to obtain the parts names in the tune body (i.e. after read the header P:), for then write (print) the parts sequency at the begining of the piece.
% header P:ABABC % ... % body % ... P:B ;Riff P:C ;Coda

Really, that's right, now I agree with you in full. ;)
p.s.: [To everybody in this list:] Sorry, yesterday (because some problems) I used another mail, but it didn't protect the mail addresses in the message. :( I will not send more messages from that mail, just from this one :)
