Artful Codger Tune Add: Helas je l'ay perdue (14) RE: Tune Add: Helas je l'ay perdue 27 Dec 12

I notice that the ABC has slurs where it ought to have ties (visually they're the same, but musically, slurs sound as two notes instead of one, particularly in MIDIs). So I've corrected the ABC below, speeded it up slightly, and posted a MIDI:

ABC:

T:Helas je l'ay perdue
C:15th century French chanson--Edition: Paris and Gevaert, Chansons du XVe Siecle,Paris, 1875
M:4/4
L:1/4
Q:1/4=132

The tune strikes me as a variant of a popular one used for "Bel astre que j'adore" and quite a few other songs.
