If the lyrics are in the database already, then it works just grand for you to post ABC or MIDITEXT tunes in the Please post tunes here thread. If it's a MIDI or Noteworthy file, send it on to Alan for Mudcat Midis, with a message in the "post tunes" thread that says you sent it to Alan.
However, if it's a song with lyrics in the Forum, then it behooves us to keep the lyrics and tune together. Please post the tune (or a notice that you sent the tune to Alan) in the same thread where the lyrics appear.
If this works right, Susan and I can kick back and leave the "tunes only" thread to Dick, and we can go merrily along about our business of harvesting lyrics with their related tunes (and then we send the stuff on to Dick and let him do the grunt work). I'm sure Dick won't mind if you make things a little easier for Susan and me. Might even be a bit easier for him.
It's helpful to change the "subject" line of messages to show the title of the song you're posting. If you forget, we'll change it for you when we find the song and harvest it. That makes it a little easier to search the Forum for songs. Thanks.
