In this particular case I created the midi files myself with Finale,
using every trick I know of to optimize them for midi2abc.
Actually, I use midi2abc and abc2midi almaost exclusively to transfer
files between Finale and ABC, praying for the day someone comes up with
a ABC-ETF converter so I wouldn't have to take the detour through
midiland anymore.
I've already tried praying and begging for that, but maybe some bribery
would work:
If someone can come up with a direct (two-way) path between ABC and
Finale for Macintosh, I swear I'll have Bach's complete choral
harmonisations up on the web in ABC format within a month.

That might be the problem. There are two independent Mac ports of
midi2abc. Both share the same bugs, but they might both be based on
outdated source code.

As I mentioned in another thread, I'm almost finished with the few
pieces I have access to, but thanks anyway :-)
