Hi folks and happy 4th of July! I have searched for the Cowboy Jig and DID finally find the ABC version for it, however, I don't have ABC to convert it. Any chance of one of you kind-hearted folks converting it for me? You would earn my greatest gratitude and admiration:) Thanks! Nan

Hi, Nan - I e-mailed you MIDI files. Hope they'll help.

Hey Joe.

Would you mind sending them to me also, as I wanted to know if it was the same tune that I knew under another name?

Well, I've got a problem. I used ABCMUS to convert the tune to a MIDI, and the MIDI plays fine on Windows Media Plawyer. However, it crashes both Cakewalk and Noteworthy. I guess I'll try it with the DT Player and see if that works. Thanks for the suggestion, Dick. -Joe-

Uh, uh. didn't work. I pasted it into a notepad file, and saved it as Cowboy.abc. I can open other ABC files with DTPlayer - what's wrong with this one? -Joe Offer-

I found the problem. When I fixed the tune the first time around, I left out a line break. Now it's fixed completely.
When you post ABC tunes, it's important to include a full introduction (all those lines that begin with a letter and a colon), and all lines must be separated by both carriage returns (hit enter at the end of each line), and
line breaks.
I fix tunes and lyrics when I find line breaks missing, but it's better if the line breaks are in there in the first place.
