The spec. for Eric Foxley's notation is available at:
http://www.cs.nott.ac.uk/~ef/ef/music/doc/music.doc.html
although as far as I'm aware the only large publically available archive of
tunes in this notation is the Nottingham Muisc Database which has already
been converted into ABC so I doubt you'd pick up any new tunes.
