Handle old abc2ps tunes.
When set, 'M' becomes the !tenuto! decoration and a pitch translation may be done for the bass and alto clefs (respectively, 2 and 1 octaves down).
It is preferable to rewrite the old tunes to comply with the current standard rather than using this parameter. For example, in the tune, you could include:
U: M = !tenuto! K:C clef=bass octave=-2for the old tune to be printed and played correctly.
