please let me advocate JedABC, a mode that extends the Jed editor; http://abcplus.sourceforge.net/#JedABC. I'm strongly tempted to say it's one of the nicest tools for writing ABC sources. You get the best of Emacs, plus lots of other features. If you happen to have a spare Windows or Linux machine, give it a try.
