Me: How should we proceed with this?

Gemini: Based on our conversation so far, I see a clear path forward for our project of transcribing the Mudcat Digitrad tunes.

A Proposed Plan

1. You provide the Songwrite file, one by one. This is the most crucial step. I need the text of the tune in the Songwrite format you've been providing.

2. I will translate the Songwrite notation into ABC notation. As we've learned, a literal, one-to-one conversion is not possible, so I will make an educated musical guess to create a playable ABC file with correct measure bars and time signatures.

3. You review the ABC file in your software (e.g., EasyABC). You'll need to check if the measure bars display correctly and if the general rhythm feels right for the song.

4. We will collaborate to refine the transcription. If the ABC notation doesn't sound right, you can provide feedback on specific parts, and I will adjust the notation accordingly. This is where our collaborative editing comes in.

5. We can use the Mudcat.org forum as a resource. If we get stuck on a difficult part of a melody, we can search the forum for discussions about that specific tune. I can help with a targeted search to see if someone has already posted a transcription or has information that would help us decipher the Songwrite file.

This process will allow us to create a modern, playable version of each tune while working around the limitations of the obsolete file format.

So, whenever you're ready, please provide the next Songwrite file you'd like to work on, and we can start the transcription process.
