Title: Message

Rhod,   Thanks for all your comments about TunePal. I really appreciate the detail you are going into. I am Easter break for the next two weeks and although I have some college work to look after, I should have plenty of time to work on TunePal. All your feedback is valuable and appreciated.   Can you possibly send me the tune file that generated the weird error messages?   Yes I am a T’ai Chi head. I have been practicing for about 7 years. I went to classes with a very good teacher for about 5 years, but he left Dublin to go and live in Kerry. We were 2/3 through the long form (we did the short form for years) and that is what I do now myself a few times a week. I must say, I find it very beneficial for my mood, energy level and overall state of mind. I’ll check out the site you sent me.   What type of music do you play?   Bryan   Bryan Duggan.

TunePal is a player for ABC file that runs on the likes of the Dell Axim or the Compaq iPaq. The program has been completely rewritten in C and so it’s very fast at loading tune files and searching files. Some features it supports are:   Plays tunes in any major, minor, mixlodian, dorian key. Sharps flats and naturals Repeats Variations Rolls Tuplets Real time speed and volume adjustment Transposing tunes. Playing subsections of a tune Super fast recursive searching for a tune in multiple tune files (Henrik Norbeck's tunes can be searched in about a second). Sorting by index, title, alt title and composer   Now you can carry your entire tune archive around in your pocket for easy access at sessions!   The program is Beta standard and has not been extensively tested. I am sure there are bugs and definitely features of the ABC format it doesn’t support. Please back up your machine before you install.   I welcome comments and feedback. I would be especially interested in receiving files that the program will not play correctly, so that I can enhance the program.   You can view screen shots and find more information here:   http://www.bryanduggan.com/TunePal.html   It can be downloaded here:   http://www.bryanduggan.com/TunePal.cab   Enjoy!   Bryan   Bryan Duggan.
