Fiddle tabs for O'Carolan Tunes

I'm a self-taught fiddler who tabs the music that I like. I tabbed Sheebag Sheemore, and a number of others. Where can I find more simple tabs for fiddle? I tab with four lines (one each for the four strings: G,D, A. and E. then, I indicate with 0,1,2,3,4 which finger to place on each string.

Is fiddle tab the same as mandolin tab? Because there is an O'Carolan (note spelling) page at http://www.michaelpilgrim.com/scores101.html (click me to go there) which has scores and mandolin tabs as well as guitar tabs and midis

so - is it the manolin and the violin that are the same "tabwise"? I think I remember someone telling me that once...

Thanks so much, MMario!! That site is a great source for fiddle, mando and guitar tabs AND midi files. And I especially like the fact that the musical scores and tabs appear on the same page. Way to go, dude!

Boy, this is going to add inches to my practice book(s) *BG*

All the best, Áine

Fiddlers who use tabs? That's a new one on me.

What is the UK equivalent of the US "curmudgeon?"

Trouble with tab is that it gives NO indication of timing. I think they are harder to read than just sheet music.

These days a reference to "Victor Meldrew" often serves as an alternative.

I can't get my head round tabs even on guitars, where there are frets. Once I start trying to work out from tabs where to put the fingers, my head starts spinning. It's a great deficiency. Chord diagrams are about my limit. (And obviously that'd be no good with a fiddle, if I could only play one.)
