Yes it is a great site - because it adds value to the Digital Tradition gold mine provided through the good grace of Dick, Susan and Max. My understanding from the words of the author of Yet Another... is that there is no official connection, but given the added value I don't believe that I would view this as a pirate site.

Harking back to Sappers request the question of guitar chords is still somewhat problematical though. For a single melody line I use ABCMUS (cyber Backer? routine) using the ABC notation provided by Yet Another..., but the results obtained need a degree of vetting, and of course the chords need to be then transferred manually to the lyrics or score. (BTW I actually use the downloaded version of the DT, along with the SongWright import feature in ABCMUS to fiddle about with tunes in the DT, but that's probably a topic for the more ambitious). Anyone else have any better answers?

Regards
John
