Subject: RE: ABC versus Lilypond
You have certainly copied the original now except for the fact that in my Frescobaldi the whole score appears to be an octave low. Change

relative ees'

to

relative ees'

and it raises the score an octave.

However the original score contains what I see as errors. I can see no justification for having only one bar on the third line. There is also a bar split between the fourth and fifth lines. The convention is to have more or less the same number of bars on each line. For some people anything other than four bars a line is wrong. This piece is unusual in having a bar length that is not divisible by four.

My instinct would be to do it as it should be, but of course that was not your purpose. I suspect the faults come from in the original ABC file but it's too late for me to look at that now. Tomorrow perhaps.
