I've been poking around the web a little bit and I came upon
http://libmusicxml.sourceforge.net/

This is an open source project that I think is really similar to what we're
thinking about, except that it is written for MusicXML.

If we use the same structure that they've used, then any package that uses
that can also import ABC with very little work, and alternately, any package
we write for ABC will also be able to import MusicXML.

I haven't looked deeply at their package yet, but I think they haven't done
any cross language support, so we would have to add that. I plan on studying
it and seeing if there is a way to use their code as a library and we would
just need to concentrate on the parsing itself.
