ABC is in for a change. Click below for the proposed new standard posted several hours ago. The committee didn't go for my reform, so K:spec still works 7 ways, while my J:spec is unique and uses only information in the score, and is independent of the coder's interpretation of the tune. {Chris Walshaw turned developement of ABC notation over to a committee. Note: new notation will have no effect whatever on what you get from your computer's speaker. Current ABC has taken that to it's limit.)
