Well, my jcabc2ps clone also parses these, but the positioning still leaves something to be desired. It can take a while to figure out exactly how postscript positioning works. Because my abc tune finder needs to accept abc from various sources and do something useful with them, I've looked at the idea of merging the abc2ps clones. But the divergence is enough to make it a daunting task. So far, it's been easier to just make similar changes to my own clone. But sometimes this takes a while.
