Joe, my ABC2WIN won't display your ABC. Your first 2 measures have the equivalent of 8 quarter notes in them. z/4, since a 1/4 note is the base, are rests of 1/4 x 1/4 = 1/16 note. Those 7's and 11's don't look right. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of the tune to check against yours against. Want to pick something out of a common book (e.g. Lomax's 'Folk Songs of North America) and do an ABC and post it, so we can tell you what's wrong? Jon, can you figure out what's wrong?
