It looks like abc2ly has not been modified to produce current syntax. I installed lilypond-snapshot from Pedro's site (Thanks, Pedro), and wrote an ABC file that doesn't need all the scripts I normally use to produce unbarred output with some ancient music features.
The file is attached. I get no errors on it with either abc2ps or abc2ly-snapshot, and it works fine with abc2ly and lilypond from 2.0.1. However, when I run lilypond-snapshot, I get: [hark]# lilypond-snapshot tenor.ly Now processing `tenor.ly' Parsing... tenor.ly:9:3: error: syntax error, unexpected STRING: Har k! Hark!
