| John, in your tune finder, are all the tunes present in all the | formats?
No, they're only present in the abc format. All the other formats are generated on the fly. | When I'm looking for a tune, I'll click on one of the ABC's at random. | Sometimes I get the tune, and sometimes I get a notice that the file | is empty. This is usually because there's something wrong with the abc file. If you use the "Get" link, you can see the original file. Some of them have serious problems, and the conversion programs (mostly based on abc2ps) just can't handle them. Note that most of the abc files are not on my site. There are about 280 known abc sites now. I don't have any control over what people put on their web sites, and sometimes they have rather weird ideas about how abc tunes should be put on the web. Or they used software that just generates bad abc. And sometimes an "empty" tune is because someone has typed in the header information, but hasn't included the actual music. I've done this with a few tunes, as a sort of placeholder for tunes that I haven't found yet. To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
