Hi Laura, I was so disappointed with the complete mess the current abc2ly makes of Irish tunes from the vast repository at thesession.org that I started looking into this. The others mentioned that using abc2xml and then using musixxml2ly supplied with lilypond is the way forward. I found this to

Hi everyone, The easiest and reliable way to translate from .abc to .ly is to use the excellent TablEdit by Matthieu Leschemelle which can import an .abc file or an .abc code from clipboard
