Here's my automatic conversion of the DT file to abc. It's better than the YADT version. (Though the one thing I didn't do was reduce the default note value to it's best value. I start with 1/32 and keep it there. Someday I'll go back and fix that. And I ought to set up proper default note groupings!). This was done with a Java converter based on one I originally did in VB in MS Access when I did a full conversion of the 2002 DT for the late John In Brisbane.
