Well I think we (The Scots) could have had an awful lot more if it had not been for The Reformation and the like of Knox and his cronies. In the archive where I work we have, on microfilm, the Robert Tait Collection which is basically a 'how to read the dots and sing church type music' but in the middle of it is a piece(with dots) about a farting competition between a lady and her maid. It dates to about 1671
