I decided to check to see whether my abc2ps clone (jcabc2ps)  handles
all  the  cases,  and found a couple of bugs.  I've fixed them, and a
test case can be seen at:

http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/src/jcabc2ps/ps/Chords_Length.ps

If anyone wants the source, it's at:

I've gotta take another look at merging my stuff with  abcm2ps.   But
all  too  often,  playing tunes is higher priority.  And there's that
silly job that they're paying me money to do.

Gotta get back to work now ...
