abcMIDI was designed as a handy app package that can be used to help you process ABC music notation files. It consists of several programs: abc2midi, abc2abc, abcm2ps, abcmatch, midicopy, yaps, and midi2abc. abc2midi is probably the most advanced program for creating MIDI files from ABC files. abc2abc can help you check the syntax and reformat ABC files. abcm2ps allows you to quickly convert an ABC file to Postscript. yaps converts an ABC music file into a PostScript file containing the common music notation. The source code in this program is not a clone of abc2ps (the original ABC to PostScript conversion application) and takes an independent approach. Midi2abc produces an ABC file from a MIDI file. In some circumstances the resulting ABC file is not particularly easy to read, but it is a fairly accurate representation of the MIDI file.
