Dear Maintainer,

on https://manpages.debian.org/testing/lilypond/abc2ly.1.en.html is a
reference to the abc standard applicable for this software. The related
sentence is 

"abc2ly converts ABC music files (see
http://abcnotation.com/abc2mtex/abc.txt) to LilyPond input."

The correct link is "http://abcnotation.com/abc2mtex/abc.txt" which
leads the reader to a wiki page and a text file.

On Debian the link is "http://abcnotation.com/abc2mtex/abc.txt)". I felt
free to check the Arch man-page where the link is correct. Therefore I
guess that this little issue is related to Debian and not to LilyPond.
On Debian the link is incorrect for different languages and not just
English.

Using a browser it is almost no effort to remove the trailing ")" but a
correct link sould be better. Please fix the issue in one of the next
updates.

Thank you very much for taking care of the project,
Christoph Brinkhaus
