Played by abc2midi and played by most players of hornpipes,
I believe. If you try changing abc2midi so that it uses a 3:1 ratio,
you should find that hornpipes don't sound quite right.
Of course, this is all subjective and maybe you play things a bit
differently in Boston :-) . As far as I know this is not documented
in the standard at all, since it is more musical knowledge
than anything to do with abc.
