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”) https://spuds.thursdaycontra.com/TuneLinks.html If you can’t find anything, a lot of us have our own libraries not posted to the internet, too.

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 :) Emily in Ottawa ================================== Deep in the heart of Texas Marching through Georgia The auctioneer Smoke on the water On the Trail of the lonesome pine Red wing Shindig in the Barn Marianne _______________________________________________ Musicians mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe send an email to [email protected]
