MIDI tracks can serve a lot of porposes in a standard MIDI file. Please see <url http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/miditech.htm> covering MIDI from several points of view, especially <url http://www.borg.com/~jglatt/tech/midifile.htm> which hints at how abc non-musical matter (copyright notices, labels, lyrics, and so on) could be preserved in an abc-sourced MIDI file. So far, I've been using abcMIDI to get MIDIs from abc. I'm not quite sure it includes the lyrics so as to output karaoke files (I just haven't had the occasion to test my MIDIs with karaoke software, but opening them with one WYSIWYG score editor or other didn't show the words; some of the header text appeared (clipped) before each staff).
