Since the code scans each tune, I can count anything that I can write a perl pattern for. A search does take several days (mostly due to the time spent making and breaking TCP connections), and I usually run it twice a month. A run just finished a couple days ago. So we're not talking about fast turnaround here. But I have added an assortment of counts like this, just out of curiosity. Then I say "How 'bout dat." and delete the code. Usually the numbers come with disclaimers. Thus, I have the three books of the O'Neill's Project on my web site. A lot of them were done by people using abc2win, of course. But I ran them through a script to do some simple canonicalization, to try to make the abc as standard as possible. So they mostly show no signs of what software was used to do the transcription. This probably decreases the abc2win count by an unknown amount. Similar disclaimers would apply to any other such count.
