Doesn't work in BarFly - that redefinition of M isn't permitted as
it doesn't know what "!tenuto!" is (and hopefully never will do).
This does work, albeit it's only half a solution as BarFly has no
way of playing the tenuto:
X:1
T:McLeod's Reel
C:Arr. by John Ciaglia
M:2/4
L:1/16

I would guess that'll work reasonably well for abcm2ps too.
The arrangement sounds a bit saccharine to me; I'd prefer something
like this - based on the Scottish version, in A, but still for two
flutes:
