I think the tune is really pretty, and I like it at the fast tempo. What web-based ABC converter are you using? The one I had been using seems to be all goofed up, so it would be great to have an alternate site to try.

I mostly use ABC Convert-A-Matic (http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html) for quick previews (and smallish JPGs) of sheet music and to check syntax I'm unsure of, but their MIDI button doesn't seem to be working. For prettier typesetting (in PNG instead of JPG, if that matters) and a MIDI file, I go to one labelled simply An ABC Tune Converter (http://abc.story5000.org/), but which appears to be an attempt to build a library of tunes as well as providing the web-based conversion service, because any tune you enter there gets stored and indexed.

To generate PDFs (and MIDIs when I'm at home), I run 'abc2ps', 'ps2pdf', and 'abc2midi' on one of my Linux machines, but having the web-based tools can still be awfully convenient.
