I never used abc for midi playback before the other day. I grabbed
abc2midi and ran my abc through it just to find that it doesn't handle
tied notes correctly. If I have

CDE^F- | F

that is perfectly allowed in music notation, and abcm2ps also findes it no
problem at all (which it isn't), but abc2midi gives me this in the
midifile:

CDE^F | F

so in order to get what I want I need to write

CDE^F- | ^F

which is wrong (not very, but at least it looks funny). So my questions
are now:

1) are there other packages available (linux) that will convert my abc
into midifile in a correct way?

2) if not are there any workaround to the problem, maybe in the form of
scripts that can be run before abc2midi?

3) would you, James Allwright, consider to correct the behaviour of
abc2midi?
