Just a thought - are the text spacers supposed to have any effect on the score, or just space the abc listing?

If you make a couple of small changes, my program HARMONY can deal with it

a) Put [ and ] around the v:1 and v:2 in the body (But not in the header)

OK either way in BarFly, but the way Neil suggests is the way you should have done it, as the other way is deprecated, and may not be supported in future.

b) remove Hp from the key signature - Harmony does not support pipes key signatures

BarFly does support pipes signatures, but you can't have both, so "E Hp" is wrong
(they're different keys anyway).


c) replace the back quotes by upright quotes - maybe HARMONY got this wrong? please let me know.
I was working from the abc v2 draft, which does seem to leave a lot out.

Back quotes are just text spacers and should have no effect on the interpretation of the abc.
Upright quote (ascii apostrophe) shifts the pitch of a note up by an octave.


d) remove the word merge (What does it do?)

It means draw the second voice on the same staff as the first.
