I wondered that too. There are a few errors here (not surprising in view of the way the text was entered). The five voices have different numbers of bars - V:1 seems to have a bar missing, while V:3 has one bar extra. Looks like a copy and paste job has gone into the wrong place. Measure 76 (at the end of the first section) is where the problem starts, but without the score it's hard to fix. There are also some missing slur brackets, and one or two bars which don't add up. BarFly will tell you where those are Frank. BarFly can also rearrange it into line by line format, which makes it easier to see where the errors are, and even display the music if you give it a vast amount of memory. You will have to take out the redundant M: and L: fields at the beginning of voices 2-5 though. Is there an abc program which requires the M: field to be repeated at the beginning of each voice when it has already been stated in the header?
