first `P:` is ignored after `V:` definition
The ABC code below is printed without the first P: A.
T: Swing guitars
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
K: Cmaj
%
V: chords
P: A
"C"x4 "Eb°7"x4 | "D-7"x4 "G7"x4 | "C"x4 "Eb°7"x4 | "D-7"x4 "G7"x4 |
"C"x4 "C7"x4 | "F"x4 "F-"x4 | "D-7"x4 "G7"x4 | "C"x4 "G7"x4 ||
P: A
"C"x4 "Eb°7"x4 | "D-7"x4 "G7"x4 | "C"x4 "Eb°7"x4 | "D-7"x4 "G7"x4 |
"C"x4 "C7"x4 | "F"x4 "F-"x4 | "D-7"x4 "G7"x4 | "C"x4 "C7"x4 ||
However, inline [P: A] works fine:
T: Swing guitars
M: 4/4
L: 1/8
K: Cmaj
%
V: chords
[P: A] "C"x4 "Eb°7"x4 | "D-7"x4 "G7"x4 | "C"x4 "Eb°7"x4 | "D-7"x4 "G7"x4 |
"C"x4 "C7"x4 | "F"x4 "F-"x4 | "D-7"x4 "G7"x4 | "C"x4 "G7"x4 ||
P: A
"C"x4 "Eb°7"x4 | "D-7"x4 "G7"x4 | "C"x4 "Eb°7"x4 | "D-7"x4 "G7"x4 |
"C"x4 "C7"x4 | "F"x4 "F-"x4 | "D-7"x4 "G7"x4 | "C"x4 "C7"x4 ||
Related, lower priority issue: [P: B] on its own line sometimes results in a formatting error.

Agree that's a bug. A work around is to switch these two lines:
P: A
V: chords
Another way to do the second example is to leave off the brackets:
P: B
Having the part inline makes the music want to put it right at the end of the last line.
Hey Paul,
I'm still hoping for a solution to this. It seems that the relationship between P and V is not entirely clear in the 2.2 standard. However, I believe it is common for V to have multiple P.
Testing using beta.21, this doesn't look right:
X:1
K:C
%
V:1
[P:A] C8 |
[P:B] C8 |
and neither does this:
X:1
K:C
%
V:1
P:A
C8 |
P:B
C8 |
It would be really nice to be able to rely on one or the other syntax and to have it display as expected.
Thanks for your help.
