Is it legal abc to have a rest in a chord?
For instance:
X:0
T:Example
L:1/8
M:4/2
K:G
[zG8 B8 d8]gfe dcBA G8
Failing that we really do need the number on the end like
X:1
T:Example
L:1/8
M:4/2
K:G
[G8 B8 d8]1gfe dcBA G8
Note that one might need single note "chords" with a length.
This leads

I've been transcribing choruses of The Messiah.
