Hi Johan,

Having recently become interested in Irish Traditional Music where there
are countless tens of thousands of tunes in ABC, the de facto standard for
the tradition, I'd be keen to see abc2ly brought up to date. My tests with
it on a sample of several tunes from thesession.org can only be described
as abject failures.

It would be great to have a current working version that operates really
well, as the output from most of the ABC software available is dismal
compared to lilypond. Although 'the dots' are frowned upon in ITM
performance, it's handy to have a score to print out while learning a tune.

Is anybody interested in taking this on? I'd be happy to lend a hand as
well. At least we would be working towards a mature and non-moving standard
as regards ABC, so that's one good thing.


Andrew
