That's good to hear. And your guess might well be correct.  I've seen
a lot of abc tunes damaged this way.  My tune finder's search bot has
found a number of sites whose abc tunes can't be  identified  because
they come across as double spaced, and it's obvious that this sort of
double spacing is the explanation.  So far, I haven't spent the  time
it would take to undo this problem.

There was a  cute  bit  of  humor  on  the  subject  a  week  ago  on
segfault.org.   Go  to http://segfault.org/ and look near the bottom,
the "Microsoft Changes Newline Character" article.
