Whichever text editor you use should be able to pinpoint it for you. That's the message that comes up when you have polyphony and the different tracks aren't the same length. Usually I get it when I mistype and leave a note out of one of the voices. But you've got a giant difference in length, with one voice nearly twice as long as the other one. Did you maybe misplace a repeat sign? abc2midi usually creates a midi file, even if it spits out errors. So you could listen to the file to see where it goes sideways. Or use abcm2ps and look at the score, and see where the bar lines stop lining up. Also, you might want to know that there's a mailing list for abc. Which might get you answers more quickly than this group. It's at: https://groups.io/g/abcusers/
