Midi2abc is brilliant if you can work out the DOS (having worked in CPM and DOS, I found it not easy, but not too difficult - set up a .bat file with the parameters in, and then edit it to change to the midi you want).

It will translate multi-part midis successfully, and can also work out if there are any pick-up notes before the first full bar.

The main problem is that the output defaults to the screen, not to a file, so you have to be sure to put re-direction markers in to save to a file.

I tried converting a couple of midis off Lesley Nelson's Contemplator site and they came out fine. The files had too many lines for Abc2win to handle, but ABC midifier played them OK.

It's well worth spending a little brain cudgelling time on it.

Also give a try to abc2abc, which allows you to automatically transpose an abc to any other key, or to double or half the note values. I find that very handy to change tunes to a key I can sing them in.
