JesseW Lyr Add: I'll Take Vanilla (w/tune) (26) RE: Lyr Add: I'll Take Vanilla (w/tune) 22 Aug 06


Wheeee! That's a lovely song. And thanks ever so much for posting the tune with it; it's always so frustrating to find a great song and be unable to sing it due to not knowing the tune. However, I have a few confusions as to what notes go with what words; I've posted my best guess below, please post a corrected one if I'm wrong. (I'm using the lyrics method from the draft 2.0 ABC standard)

What does the "," in the 2nd measure mean? I haven't been able to find any reference to a comman in the ABC standard (I'm probably just missing it...)

The following lines don't seem to fit in the ABC you posted: "(Ice cream for me)!"

X:1

   G2   B2    B2 B2 |G2 A2 A2 G2| F2    G5 z|]
w: Just plain va-nil-la (Va-nil-la, Dear, I hear you calling me!)

As you can see, it's obviously not fitting well... Any help appreciated!
