BarFly has a built-in command to do that - Format Tune under
the Utilities menu will rearrange the abc into the format
that the program likes (or the other way, if you set the
number of bars per line and notes per line high enough).

It is supported, but you don't use %%midi.  For a single voice
tune put "transpose -24" (or just t=-24) in the K: field.
For multivoice tunes put it in V: fields in the header, so you
can transpose each voice separately.  This only affects playing.

To do the same thing for display of music use the middle (or m=)
directive in the same way.  "middle d" (or m=d) will make d the
note which is displayed on the middle line of the bass staff
instead of D,.
