I wonder if it is possible for me to put a question here, with impunity. Using the advanced search options I asked for a song to be displayed with all it's variants in one county. So I entered the field as Title and typed the name of the song then attempted to add Place on additional fields. The Website promptly treated the second field as the first demand and cleared the previous form. So I tried using the Roud number and the same thing happened. I attempted it eight times with still no success. I checked my spelling and everything else. I attempted to take a look at the song listing for Frances Collinson's collection. I Pulled up the first song, and got page two of the transcription and no tune or first verse. So I went to the old system and received both answers without any trouble. I hope things will improve fairly soon. May I make a request for guidance in the spirit of mediation please? Bearing in mind were this important research I would not get a reply from the library until next week.
Also in the spirit of support and encouragement I have offered Mp3 files to the library that cover a good 60% of the tunes to the Hammond manuscripts for inclusion in the website. I will We Transfer them to the library. I hope they will be of use.
