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

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.

Thank you for the sample tune, Hank of Sweden. I will try to make less of a mess of 
your tunes in the next release.

[abcusers] Announce: iabc 0.4 released

[ANewman110]

Release announcement:
iabc version 0.4 is released to www.sourceforge.net/projects/abc.

If you only want the windows executable, download iabc_0.4.exe.zip.

If you want to build it under windows or Linux, get iabc_src_0.4.tgz.

If you want to build it, and you don't already have wxWindows, 
get iabc_0.4.tgz.

If you want the Linux executable and you don't want the source,
get iabc_0.4.linux_exe.tgz


Changes:
This is a bug fix release.
- Vertical and Horizontal spacing are now pretty good.  iabc makes great
  effort not to squish words and notes together.

- iabc now parses the w: field more carefully and aligns the correct
  notes with the words.  For the most part, lead sheet output with
  songwords now looks the same as in abc2ps.

 - dotted notations look more like real music.
  
- Now supports 'quick open', large collections of abc tunes now open
  very quickly.  reels.abc for example takes a second or so.

- Errors in tunes other than the one you're openening are ignored.

- iabc now allows 'K:Am' etc. for minor modes. (The Limeric Tinker now
  displays and prints correctly :-)

- X: field the parameter is now ignored (which means we display all the
  tunes even if they are out of order)
  
- Changed open file filter to include all files (*.*)

- iabc doesn't 'lock' (i.e. forget to close) files anymore.
