We seem to be drifting into a discussion about html/abc/mudcat but that is useful if we want to exchange tunes.

If I cut and paste Jacks abc into Microsoft Notepad, I don't get any line breaks; if I paste it onto Wordpad, I do; if I paste it into my own programme, it crashes. Looking at the source code for this thread, the only difference I can see is that Jack uses the <pre> tag round his abc to preserve the alignment.

Any suggestions?
