Wish I knew how to read those ABC's.

If you're using a Mac, download BarFly - you won't regret it. I don't know about PC software, as I use Noteworthy on the PC for historical reasons - although I can recommend Bryan Creer's ABC/Noteworthy/ABC conversion program.

At a pinch I should think you could sight-read ABC - "c2e c2e|ecA A2A|" to take a couple of bars at random, means
C crotchet E quaver C crotchet E quaver
E quaver C quaver low-A quaver low-A crotchet low-A quaver
('low A' meaning the A below the C, not the one above the E)
