Surely not. Several sci-fi movies (mentioning no Independence Days) make it clear that it's easy to link your network to that of the aliens, even if they're presumably trying to stop you. So conversely we must assume the aliens are all using the abcusers list, even though we don't see many of their posts.

Re: [abcusers] Intergalactic naming conventions.
| ... And the English think that English is the language that the English | speak!! | Laurie Yeah, well, the language does have more than a few major dialects. There's that line from My Fair Lady: "In America they haven't spoken it in years." And it's probably worth noting that the major American dictionaries all call themselves a "Dictionary of the American Language". This goes counter to the fact that most Americans claim they speak English. But common terminology is decidedly fuzzy. It is common to observe that the spoken dialects have diverged a lot more than the written forms. This is probably the only good feature of our demented spelling "system".

[abcusers] The (illegal) sounds of silence
Hey, folks, here's a wonderful new addition to the ongoing issue of copyrights and the recording industry: http://www.independent.co.uk/story.jsp?story=307449 (Maybe we need an abc transcription of Mike Batt's "One Minute's Silence" to go with the version of Cage's 4'33" that's already online.)

[abcusers] Modes - request & Sequencing question.
I've notated a tune in abc, authored by a semi local, now deceased gentleman and am currently having those familiar with his work and this tune review it for accuracy and such. It is NOT ready for distribution, so please do not reference or copy the file(s), which I made available online for our local group, the address of which I must now distribute here, if I am to receive the feedback I am seeking. I will make the final version available when complete. My request is this. I've notated the tune in E minor, and even though I'm nearly finished with a music theory minor at my accredited university, I struggle with theory, and balk on the subject of modes. I just can't seem to get them, and am undertaking study to learn them outside of my legitimate studies. That study however would hinder my distribution of this really beautiful tune. I digress. As I stated, I keyed the tune in E minor, and the accidentals are correct, but it seems tonally centered on a tonic of A. I don't know if I'm correct in this or not, as I struggle as well with tonal theory (despite sleeping the Gauldin's 'harmonic practice in tonal music' under my pillow for 6 semesters in the hope of knowledge osmosis. I despise this book actually. Though it is heralded as the 'best out there' by so many.) So.. My request Would someone with the knowledge be willing to look at my files and tell me if its in some key/mode other than E minor, and perhaps suggest harmonic accomp chording for the tune? My thanks if anyone's willing. The files are located at http://www.chivalry.com/moceltic/slojam/ The tune is 'Mike Hoban's Air' and is located in a slightly separated manner at the bottom of the list of tunes on that page. The Finale-gif is an image of what I am most confident as being notated accurately. The Midi there is a well rendered playing of that file. The Finale file itself, for any who use Coda's SmartMusic is also there. Finally, the abc file and a gif screen capture are also available, though I am not as confident of their correctness, nor does PlayABC render a suitably accurate hearing of the tune to my ear for me to recommend it to those not familiar with the tune (especially as it seems to ignore tied notes and instead play them as separate and distinct notes). I could not discover from the standard, or the tutorials how, or if it is even possible to notate a DC al Fine, so I was forced to copy the A part and tack it on to the end of the B part, which kindof defeats the AABA sequencing visually. So the question that I alluded to in my 'subject' is whether it's possible or not, and if so, how one notates and directs midi rendering engines to do a DC al Fine. Thanks all for any input, and for being patient for the final distribution copy of the tune if there are those interested in it's content. //Christian To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html

... | The tune is 'Mike Hoban's Air' and is located in a slightly separated | manner at the bottom of the list of tunes on that page. It's a nice tune, and it's in A dorian. This is the most common "minor" mode in traditional Irish and Scottish music, which is why it probably sounds Irish to your ears. The "Dorian" mode is basically similar to what the classical folks call "natural minor" (or "Aeolian"), but the 6th of the scale is sharp. It's actually a fairly common sort of scale in a lot of the world. To make it sound even more traditional Irish or Scottish, harmonize it with A minor and G major chords. It'll probably be obvious where to use each. Those two bars that read |g3ec2| might sound best with a C major chord. It's also inevitable that people will play it as a waltz.

This is the most common >"minor" mode in traditional Irish and Scottish music, which is why it >probably sounds Irish to your ears. To figure this out for yourself, first decide where the tonic is. In this case it's easy, since every line of the tune ends on a sustained A, and the tune spends twice as much time on the note of A as any other note. If you know the tonic is A and the key signature is one sharp, you can look up the mode in this table: Key Sig Major MinorMix Dor Phr Lyd Loc Ionian Aeolian 7 sharps: C# A#m G#Mix D#Dor E#Phr F#Lyd B#Loc 6 sharps: F# D#m C#Mix G#Dor A#Phr BLydE#Loc 5 sharps: B G#m F#Mix C#Dor D#Phr ELydA#Loc 4 sharps: E C#m BMixF#Dor G#Phr ALydD#Loc 3 sharps: A F#m EMixBDorC#Phr DLydG#Loc 2 sharps: D Bm AMixEDorF#Phr GLydC#Loc 1 sharp : G Em DMixADorBPhrCLydF#Loc 0 sharps: C Am GMixDDorEPhrFLydBLoc 1 flat : F Dm CMixGDorAPhrBbLyd ELoc 2 flats : Bb Gm FMixCDorDPhrEbLyd ALoc 3 flats : Eb Cm BbMix FDorGPhrAbLyd DLoc 4 flats : Ab Fm EbMix BbDor CPhrDbLyd GLoc 5 flats : Db Bbm AbMix EbDor FPhrGbLyd CLoc 6 flats : Gb Ebm DbMix AbDor BbPhr CbLyd FLoc 7 flats : Cb Abm GbMix DbDor EbPhr FbLyd BbLoc Phil Taylor To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
