We discovered a number of problems with abc2tab. What I can't remember is how it coped with m dulcimer tab. The mandolin and guitar tab was certainly a mess - it even failed to put notes in the losest string. I know John in Brisbane did try to contcat the author but I'm not convinced he ever got a reply. It is not a program I recommend.

abctab2ps does sound good in that postscript output is usually very nice but it does appear you have to write a modified abc to produce a tab line, see here for chords for example.

Overall, much as I'd like to be recommending abc, my own thoughts for W.E. would be to give TablEdit a whirl.
