Jan> This is invalid lilypond syntax: you found a bug.
I've hit that one (in 2.0); I was planning to report it after I had a chance to
check it on a more recent version. Basically, any chord (ABC syntax
"[A C]", for instance, is translated with single angle brackets,
instead of double ones.
The workaround is to change the "< a' c >" that comes in the lilypond
output to read "<< a' c >>". This is a pain for the way I work, where
I do the editing in ABC and look at the abc2ly/lilypond output.

My tunes aren't so simple, but I don't use chords very often, since I
enter the voices separately. The particular case where I hit this
problem this week had a bass voice that split for one note. Dave
probably has a similar case, with a mostly monophonic cello part with
a few double stops.
