Hi Suibhan,

How is the harping going? I think you must be a better player than me already - ah, the joys of having a harp teacher *and* the motivation to practise (sigh!).

Do you have a copy of Noteworthy or any other music notation software? (You can download a demo copy of Noteworthy from the internet at http://www.ntworthy.com/composer/dloadnwc.htm - make sure you choose the right version for your computer - then type in the tune, play it like a midi file, print it out, save it etc. If you typed in even the first few bars onto Noteworthy and sent me the file I could probably(?) identify the tune.

I don't have the book you are referring to, but you could also try asking the harplist because someone is sure to have it.

Also, have you looked up this O'Carolan page? http://www.contemplator.com/carolan.html

She has some of the best known O'Carolan tunes there.

Talk to you later Helen
