A vote for abcm2ps here. I edit with vi, which has syntax colouring for ABC. The syntax highlighting's a bit broken but v.useful all the same.

I'm pondering a way to make the whole edit/abcm2ps/ghostview/print set more accessible to Windows users. If it could be done as a single installation from one file on a CD, with a bit of VB to tie it all together and look like a single application, I'm sure it would get more use. As it is, many Windows people are using ABC2WIN which breaks the rules terribly. I once spent a whole evening hand-editing a tune collection file from the Village Music project (all done with ABC2win) so it rendered properly.
