In PMX `!` occurs only inside comments, in M-Tx only on uptext
lines.
Would this not be a more versatile solution, maybe even at the PMX
level? Could I have some feedback from people who write a lot of
scores? Just grep for `atnextline` in your .mtx and/or .pmx files.
I know there is a lot of them in André van Ryckeghem's edition of
the Deutsche Messe.
