I'd love something like these, too.
I'd add to this wish-list these three items:
8. A script for formatting with four (or whatever) bars per line,
with intelligent treatment of anacrusis and multiple endings
9. A script for extracting chords and making chord charts
(Anselm Lingau's is a good start).
10. A script for "beautifying" abc by putting white space in
to improve readability and by lining up things vertically.
I realize that some of these things are already done by various programs.
But a nice suite of scripts would be great.
