One thing I noticed missing: The repeat section doesn't mention the N-times-through notation like |:: ... ::| % Play this three times. |::: ... :::| % Play this four times. I've implemented this in jcabc2ps, and used it in a few tunes. I've found that, although musicians will say that they've never seen this the first time I saw it was in abc... they invariably know exactly what it means. after some explaining I guess ;-) Of course, when a phrase is played three or more times, you usually do have different endings. This is why many people haven't seen this notation. But it can be very handy when you're just writing a basic version of a tune, and you note that one phrase really is played four times. The upcoming standard is not yet explicit in allowing/disallowing variant ending out of a P-part notation (which is missing begin repeats) Arent To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

One thing I noticed missing: The repeat section doesn't mention the N-times-through notation like |:: ... ::| % Play this three times. |::: ... :::| % Play this four times. These are already in the standard: By extension, |:: and ::| mean the start and end of a section that is to be repeated three times, and so on.

I guess I somehow managed to page past it. Now that I have a keyword, I can find it easily. ;-) Onward ... To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
