You seem to misunderstand his problem. He already has all the tunes. His problem is to get them all into Finale, which he could do now by converting all to xml and importing them one at a time (as he could do with midi in the way you suggest; and despite your comment, I think everyone who's posted on this thread so far could get the job done that way - JiK even suggested the midi route rather than the xml route).

The problem is to avoid the manual one-file-at-a time processing (I assume he has a great number of tunes). The first half - generating midi or xml from the abc - is simple to do; there are tools for that. The problem is then to automate getting them into Finale, which is what the Finale Script I've suggested does.
