I don't know how it is for other people, but when I click on Stewart's link, I get a blank.

So, Skarpi (and anybody else who wants to learn), try this.

First, find the Tune-o-tron, which converts ABC to sheet music, and add it to your Favorites list. Here's a link:

Tune-o-tron



Next, highlight this ABC file. Start at the X and stop at the last bar. Then press Ctrl+cC to copy it.

X:808
T:O'Donnell's Return
S:Highland Sessions, BBC 2005
Z:Nigel Gatherer
N:Transposed from Gm
M:4/4
L:1/8
K:Edor

Then go back to the Tune-o-tron, press Ctrl+v to put the ABC in the box, press Submit, and voila, the sticks and dots appear.

I just tried it, and it worked.

I agree with you that it's a great tune. I have been playing it on the piano rather than working on my tax return.
