Go to https://editor.drawthedots.com and paste it in. hit play, and 4 notes sound.

Perhaps abcjs is interpreting everything as a slur whether the notes are the same or not? It shouldn't be doing this.

A tie is notated with a hyphen, so the above should be c-c-c-c instead. But I do the best I can with the ABC string I receive and I could be interpreting the user's intention here, so I'll improve that.

D'oh! I didn't know there was a separate notation for ties. Thanks for pointing this out.

I'll leave this issue open since you said you will improve that.

P.S. how do you do a tie across bar lines? Is it c-|c or c|-c or are both correct?

Sorry for the late reply - c-|c is correct.
