Paul, here is a webpage about abc. You can translate sheet notation into abc and vice versa on your own once you learn its conventions; I guess this would tedious, but worth it if it was the only way to get a tune you really wanted. There are also computer programs to do the translation, but I don't know anything about that. I haven't gotten around to learning abc myself yet, as there is so much sheet music available for me to explore.

ABC

Again, my apologies. Thank you Jo77 ... am I pressing my luck to hope you'll do it again? What I have to do is find a post where someone else has written the pointy things as part of the text and cut and paste them, which of course I'm too lazy to do.

Harpgirl, I was pretty pleased to find it too.
