What should happen in the second case is that when that tune appears
in a list of hits, the buttons which retrieve GIF, ps or midi would
be disabled, and the abc button would retrieve the whole file.
(I've no idea how easy that would be to implement - presumably the
index would need an extra field to hold the information.)

Presumably this would not affect normal search robots at all, since they
won't index .abc files anyway?
