Interesting! Laura, your attachment can through just fine, so I ran
it through Skink, which parsed it but went into a hard loop when asked
to display the tune, because it can't handle the double whole note (G16 at
the end).
How _should_ that note be displayed? and in general, since you can
specify arbitrary note lengths in abc, is there any consensus on
how something like
X:1
T:Wierd lengths
L:1/8
M:C
K:C
a5 b9 c11 a17
should be displayed?
