There are tons of abc songs on the net, but 99% are

folk songs. I believe it's because of the property rights.
The inventor of ABC is a folk musician, so that may be an influence.
That's what I do too, so it's ideal for me.
Do you use abc2midi
I have used it, but I can read music well enough to know if it's right
just by looking at it unless it's a complex score with jazzy harmonies!
I see ABC more as a tool for producing printed output, not for playing via
MIDI.
One time I used abcmidi on a tune that happened to be in 3/4 and it
added a completely inapropriate Oom-pa-pa waltz accompaniment (it was
supposed to be a lyrical song).
After that I didn't bother with it much :-)
