Hooray for abc – it is SO useful!

 

A lot of these abcs can be found via John Chambers’ ABC Tune Finder:  
http://john-chambers.us/~jc/cgi/abc/find.cgi

 

Mickey Koth has links to a ton of music resources, too including ABC libraries: 
 https://www.biteyourownelbow.com/webtunes.htm

 

And I have a few on the SPUDS website. (Some are listed as reels, some are 
still under “Couple Dance”)

If you can’t find anything, a lot of us have our own libraries not posted to 
the internet, too.

Subject: [Musicians] ABC tune notation for singing squares?

 

Hey trad dance musicians :)

 

I was wondering if any of you have (or know if there are files) in ABC tune 
notation for singing square melodies?

 

The reason I'm wondering about ABC is that it's so easy to transpose to 
different keys to accommodate vocal ranges  I can pull the notation from Ralph 
Sweet's book, put it into ABC notation and then transpose but if someone has 
already done it, I'd rather not reinvent the wheel.  Thoughts?

 

(I've posted the same question on the trad callers listserv but I thought I'd 
check with y'all as well!)

 

The squares I'm interested in are below.  

 

Thanks :)
