I'm not sure what's going on but here's the text file he has posted along
with the midi and gif files:

abc readers).  

If you paste the above text into the Tune-O-Tron converter at
http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html you'll get a pdf output with
the correct rhythm.  I suspect the method he's using for notating the dotted
rhythm (< and > instead of /) is causing the problem but I don't know for
sure. -Steve
