Jack Campin Tune Req: 1834 Clock, Plays7tunes, what are they? (92* d) RE: Tune Req: 1834 Clock, Plays7tunes, what are they? 25 May 20


I think the ABC converter at mandolintab.net is back online -that will easily turn the ABC of the Aird tunes into staff notation or MIDI.

I put all of Aird's collections on my website, in ABC. They were by far the best selling and most influential tune publications of that generation. They'd have been the first place to look for any non-specialist anywhere in the British Isles. It would be worth looking behind the selections to work out how this version might have been done - seems an odd idea to just use a random contiguous selection from a book, but that seems to have been much the way Aird himself operated at times.
