Update on Melody/Harmony: The existing version does handle ABC lyrics properly most of the time. There are a couple of issues with the DT because the @ characters used to signal classifications (@bawdy, etc) are not allowed. There are also some problems with the really special ABC lyric stuff that Barfly does not appear to handle either - things like two words on a single note. (It may be the latest Barfly does address this).

I am currently beta testing the next release of Harmony and concentrating on its ABC capabilities and will keep you informed when it becomes available.
