I'll push a commit shortly that ignores all whitespace at the begin of a line.

Currently, abc2ly assumes the order:
  ACCIDENTAL NOTENAME OCTAVE DURATION SLUREND

So, your "a)>e" confuses abc2ly, because the ) is before the duration...

I haven't found anything about a possible order of elements in an abc file in 
the specification.

Cheers,
