Define the format of the tune header.

This format overrides the standard way to display the header of the tune(s). When present, parameters as %%titleleft, %%infoline and also %%writefields are not used anymore.

The format is a set of letters, each one being optionally preceeded or followed by an other character. The unrecognized characters, as spaces, are ignored.

A letter gives the ABC header information type. It may be any type range 'A' to 'Z', but 'I', 'L', 'M', 'U' and 'V'.

The placement (left, center or right) may be defined by a number and/or a minus sign after the letter. In this case, it may be:

With txtmus and abc2svg, the placement may also be defined by '<' (left) or '>' (right) before the letter.

A plus sign ('+') may appear between two fields in which case these fields are concatenated (this works only with fields of the same type and same alignment).

A comma (',') defines a box edge. In each box, the fields are vertically added in their alignment zones.

When text is empty, the default standard tune header is back.

txtmus or abc2svg only

The format is extended and can contain double quoted strings in place of the letters. The strings can contain information field references by '$' followed by the field letter. They can also contain font changes.
