Thanks heaps,Mick Pearce!

There are spaces at the beginning of each line which is a hurdle that the ABC Converter at Mandolin Tabs can't jump over so below are the ABC's without the spaces.

Please tell me, were the ABC's available already somewhere? I'm asking because - not knowing one end of a lute from the other, and certainly not knowing what the tuning might have been for Matthew Holmes - I found it very slow going until I found the tune I mentioned above called The Sick Tune which showed standard notation and the Matthew Holmes manuscript notation on the same page.

My first attempt, based on a different tuning assumption, gave a very weird result so it was a joy to hear the tune I know start to show as I slowly and painfully translated the notation to standard music notation when I used the G tuning used on The Sick Tune.

The ABC's from Mick Pearce with spaces at the beginning of the lines removed.
