Thread Name: Lyr Req: Aisling Gheal
Subject: Tune Add: AISLING GHEAL
Here is an abc made from Freeman's notation. Rather than use the "reformed spelling" text, which would puzzle people nowadays, I've substituted the cd insert text (see above). That required a couple of small elisions to make it fit, and some guesses at the appropriate hyphenation; since my knowledge of Gaelic is very limited, I hope you won't mind too much if these turn out to be bad grammar or style.
