I was trying to catch blocks of tunes written in abc notation,
without having to surround each tune with a start and end markup.
And the text blocks should not receive any markup treatment.

I have since found that the following works, using  a <:vspace>
instead of the second \n:

 Markup('X:abc', '>[=','/\n(X:\\s*\\d+\\s*\n.*?)\n<:vspace>/se',
    "PreserveAbcText(PSS('$1'))");

<:vspace> and <vspace> is a bit of a mystery to me, as to when what
gets applied in the markup process, but my new markup seems to work.
