uilleann pipes are usually tuned against the drones, and I imagine that is

which have drones. This means
that when voicing the instrument, makers adjus

That's because it's simply a speaker connected to the output of a logic
element (in the original PCs, it was a flip-flop), so all you can do is

It's not necessarily all that grey. And "money changing hands" is
irrelevant to copyright. Otherwise, if I had a grudge against you, I
could make copies of your stuff and give them out for free, thus

I was messing about on my Mac last night under OS X, and I thought I'd
try the latest version of abc2ps to see if it would build under the
