My program handles percussion as well as melody (though does not yet import
it from abc).
An indicator in the file header may be better, although existing files won't
have it, of course.

My program HARMONY certainly knows the difference between Modes, Minor and
Major, as does the abc format.
MIDI does NOT distinguish modes, but the key meta-event is only for
documentation anyway, makes no difference to the audio output.

My program HARMONY can present the list of files within an abc tunebook in
either title or number sequence.
If anyone wants the file written out in a new sequence, I could easily add
that facility.

currently under development), and it can display multiple voices in the Bass

No sarcasm at all, a genuine request for positive feedback.
I don't know of such a program, but might be able to write one. The only
difficult point is finding out how to assign the data stream.
Once that is done, I can easily capture the MIDI events to a file.

If the parser were being written in lockstep with the specification,
proper design might indeed be the result. Kindof an evolution meets
extreme programming approach. (Not that I really ever understood Extreme
programming).
Would anyone else be interested in such?

Rubbish. To be useful, the parser should be a procedure with an API which
can be called from a standard
executable program. If you produce an acsii file, you have just replaced one
problem with another.

It's looking promising so far, but as pointed out, maybe not a good idea to
parse an entire abc tunebook in one go.
It should at least have a selective option.
The main idea behind a common parser would be to enforce a single and
unambiguous version of the format.
Currently, there are many
