The ABC Standard v. 1.6 says:
abc notation uses a > to mean `the previous note is
dotted, the next note halved' and < to mean `the previous
note is halved, the next dotted'
The syntax F>F is intended for simple broken rhythm in which the (abc)
written notes are the same length. Complex ones should be written in
full, e.g. F>F- F>G or F>F- F3/2G, not F > F2 > G (supposing F > F2
means 'one F of default length with a dot followed by one F of double
the default length').
