I'm having trouble with the ABC's that have been posted in the last few days. For one thing, it would be better if they did not have chords, since the tunes in the Digital Tradition have only the melody lines. If you have chords, it would be best if you post TWO versions, one with chords and one without. Also, many of the ABC tunes don't seem to work, and I have to play around with them to get them right. In the tune above, I believe the "Q" line should read: Q:1/4=72 - am I correct? [No, I'm not - see below]
If you prepared the tune in another format - MIDI or Noteworthy, for example, it might be better to submit the tune in the original format, rather than risking loss of part of the tune by running it through a converter.
If there is an existing thread on the song, PLEASE put the tune in that thread. Every thread we start makes things that much harder to find around here. There is no need to start a new thread for every tune you post. Why not start a thread and put a hundred tunes in it? - they will be much easier to find, especially if you remember to put the name of the song in the message's "Subject" line. If you can add a link to the lyrics, all the better.
It's a wonderful thing to post tunes - but if they don't work or can't be found, it doesn't do much good.
