Very interesting, Susan. Do you have the ability to change the tempos of the MIDIs we're sending? If not, feel free to let me know how you'd like each one set.

I notice at the bottom of page xliv, Allen says:

    As regards the tempo, most of the tunes are in 2-4 time, and in most of these [quarter note] = 100--(say)100-120. The spirit of the music will determine the tempo within these limits. The slower tunes are 1, 3, 9, 17, 21, etc. No. 2 is about [quarter note] = 160-180, and perhaps had better have been written in 3-8. So No. 13 would be better in 2-4; as it is, the [quarter note] = 160-170. No. 24 should be read as if divided in 2-4, with [quarter note] = 100. The tempo of the rowing tunes has been already indicated.

    The pitch has generally been accommodated to voices of medium range.

Is your interpretation of tempos informed by Allen's advice here or are you relying on your experience with other music of this genre? Also, I interpret the last note as meaning Allen, et al., may not have published the scores in the same key in which they were heard. Do you make that interpretation as well?
