Since I can read music pretty well it's fairly easy for me to write an ABC notation file just from looking at the sheet music. Then I put it in the ABC Convertamatic form at Concertina.net, here. Hit submit and go to a page that prints out what I've written and has a midi link to listen to the midi of it. Try it. If you want to learn ABC notation, search on the net for a site that you feel comfortable with. Here's the ABC for your tune.......maybe.....check to see if it's right. I used a little judgment to make 4 beats to each measure. X:1 T:Arkansas M:4/4 L:1/4 K:C E/E/GA/F/F | D/E/F/G/G/E/E | G/G/G/G/G/G/F | A/G/B/D/E/D/C | w:Ar-kan-sas, Ar-kan-sas |

I will sort out the website, thanks for the info as I have written it here, the comma after a letter indicated 2 peats instead of one, I am sure there is a way in this concertina site to simplify it fdr me. |
