The Gemini links are dead this morning (I'm in the UK) so for anyone trying to follow this, here's the Songwrite file (extracted on this Android device):

It's longer than the ABC posted above. It looks like the same tune as the link I posted in abcnotation.com - it starts A F F F A which the ABC doesn't.

Curiously, the Acre of Land in the FolkInfo database (see this recent thread, which I thought was derived from DT, is different:
https://folkinfo.mainlynorfolk.info/songs/19.html

I suggest that for the conversion to be deemed successful all parts of the Songwrite file must be correctly included in the ABC.
