Interesting.  If you look at the html source for the first tune in that 
file it looks like this:

It's a long way from abc.  I suspect it's actually microsoftml, and 
probably written in
MS Word.

It works fine in Internet Explorer.  Save as text and the resulting 
tunes all work fine.
If you use a standards compliant browser (iCab or Safari) most of the 
tunes come out double-spaced.
Wheelwright Robinson's tune comes out single-spaced, but each line 
apart from the first is preceded
by a space, which screws up all the fields in the header (at least with 
BarFly).
