You found a bug in abc2ly; it cannot handle DOS/Windows flavour line
endings.  Try this patch:

--- abc2ly.py.~1.35.~   2003-09-09 13:08:10.000000000 +0200

        select_voice('default', '')

or convert your .abc files to UNIX, like so:

    tr -d '\r' < 1.abc > 1-unix.abc

That's interesting.  Like I mentioned in my other post, I'm afraid
abc2ly does not know about K:Zwiefache.  Where did you find that?
