There's an effort about to collect tunes for all the Digital Tradition songs. The missing tunes thread (click) has information about tunes that are needed, and about tunes that have been posted in other locations. The Mudcat Cafe has over 23,000 threads posted so far, so we have to take some care to ensure that we don't lose tunes and lyrics that are posted.

• If you'd like to submit tunes in ABC or MIDITEXT format, please post them in this thread or, preferably, in the thread where the lyrics appear (and post a message here, telling us where the lyrics and tune are). Make sure you put the name of the song in the Subject title of your message in this thread.
• If you'd like to submit tunes in MIDI format, please send them as e-mail attachments to Alan of Australia at Mudcat MIDIs (click to mail)
• ***NEW:If you'd like to submit tunes in Noteworthy Composer format, please send them as e-mail attachments to me (Joe Offer) at this link (click to mail). I'll submit the Noteworthy file to the Digital Tradition, and also make sure a MIDI of the file is posted at Mudcat MIDIs. Dick Greenhaus says Noteworthy files are easier for him to work with when he's preparing the Digital Tradition, especially if you have the lyrics set up to match the notes of the tune.
• If you'd like to send tunes in any other format, please e-mail them to Dick Greenhaus - digitrad@world.std.com. To send lyrics and tunes on that archaic substance known as "paper," click here for information on how to contact the Digital Tradition by mail.

If you e-mail or post tunes, please be sure to tell us where we can find the lyrics (if it's not in the thread where the lyrics appear, give us the DigiTrad filename at the bottom of the lyrics, or the URL of the thread where the lyrics are posted).

I hope that clears up what we need. I'm sure Dick Greenhaus will drop in from time to time to give us further instructions. If you post your tunes here in this thread or send them to Mudcat MIDIs or to Dick, it will make it much easier for us to make use of them. Thanks.
