Steve: I too look forward to the results. Let me know if you need help with any ABC transcription. Not having to transcribe the base line would make life easier on your project! Please let me know, Steve. Thanks.

I'm thinking about starting a project to transcribe these books into abc but I thought I'd ask for some advice. First, does anyone know of an existing abc transcription or other electronic facsimile of Petrie's collections? I don't want to duplicate someone else's work. Second, these tunes are scored for melody plus bass line (Petrie says, suitable for Harpsichord or Cello); if I do pursue this project, is there value in transcribing the bass lines as well? Being a fiddler I don't normally deal with the bass clef but I'm sure I could figure it out!
