Just saw this, Skarpi.

I do not understand how the ABC system of music works. If you know someone who does, show them the thread and they should be able to help.

The song is on YOUTUBE, but I haven't been able to find what I call normal notation such as is found on music sheets. Sorry I can't help further.

Skarpi,

I'd bet that if you messaged M Ted he'd be able to help. He's a whiz with music.

Is this it O'Donnell's Return?

If so, I can give you the abc or the score.

Paste your ABC into concertina.net's tune-o-tron and you will get the staff notation.

Skarpi, here it is ("the sheets").

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.

    B2 e2 e2 de | f3 e d2 B2 | A2 F2 d2 F2 | E4   E2   :|

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.

My link in the above post (21 Mar 10 - 12:11 PM ) O'Donnell's Return
is to a pdf file, so you need Adobe Reader to view it.

The post-before-last was from me.

Stewart, I have Adobe Reader, but your page just appears blank and the hourglass doesn't go away.

I'm sorry, I don't know what the problem is.
It works for me on two different computers.

But then you can always convert the abc file above
to a score using tune-0-tron.

I've been doing my tax return. Perhaps my computer has developed a migraine.
