LOTRO abc music - pop / rock and other genres

Lord of the Rings Online (LOTRO) is a multiplayer online role-playing game which has adopted abc as its music system. The collections of abcs generated by users are highly eclectic and include rock and pop classics as well as classical and folk. However, some of them are derived from quantized midi files, so although the playback is OK, the staff notation looks a little odd (e.g. no bar lines, strange time signatures, etc).
