Well, the general idea was to cover as many problems with the >, ties,
slurs and triplet brackets as possible. And then I just threw in the
global accidental gimmick just to make the matter even worse.

Thanks :-)
But I've got this bad feeling that's only true if you use BarFly
I was rather shocked I saw and heard the output from abc2ps and
abc2midi. I mean, for all it's weirdness, it's just plain abc, and
though I did expect some problems, I definitely didn't expect two such
prominent abc applications to come up with sheer gibberish.
I really wonder what the results from other abc applications are.

In case anybody want to compare, I've posted BarFly's output at:
http://www.musicaviva.com/abc/turkish-spam.mid
and:
http://www.musicaviva.com/abc/turkish-spam.gif

It's a slightly longer version than the one I posted at the list. The
new abc can be found at:

That's a good one, but since the tune's got some vague "oriental" feel
and since it's supposed to comment on recent events at abcusers, I
though maybe "Turkish Spam" would be better...
