It still has some serious bugs. In fact, I wouldn't say it works at all. 
For instance, try the following tune, which becomes a mess in 
iabc:

X:4
T:Dinky's
C:Francie Dearg Byrne (arr for highland pipes)
M:C|
K:Hp
{g}ed|:cd{G}Bc {AG}ABcd|eg{a}fd {g}edBd|gB{d}B{G}B 
gBaB|gB{d}B{G}B {a}gfed|
cd{G}Bc {AG}ABcd|eg{a}fd {g}edBd|{gf}g2{a}ge {gfg}f2ed|1 cd{G}Bc 
{AG}A2{g}ed:|2 cd{G}Bc {AG}A2eg||
|:aA{gAGAG}A2 aA{d}BA|aA{gAGAG}A2 agef|gB{d}B{G}B 
gBaB|gB{d}B{G}B gefg|
[1 aA{gAGAG}A2 aA{d}BA|aA{gAGAG}A2 agef|g{a}g{f}ge 
{gfg}f2ed|cd{G}Bc {AG}A2eg:|
[2 {ag}a2{g}af g{a}g{f}ge|f{g}f{e}fd edef|g{a}g{f}ge 
{gfg}f2ed|cd{G}Bc {AG}A2||

First of all it doesn't handle K:Hp
Secondly, it handles grace notes incorrectly.
3: For some reason the key signature is not at the beginning of 
each line, but as accidentals on every note.
4: Key signature C| is erroneously interpreted as 4/4. It is actually 
2/2, but should be printed as a C with a line through it.
5. There's a nearly empty line at the beginning, containing only the 
first grace note.

Most tunes from my collection become a mess too.
