Subject: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: MMario Date: 09 Feb 00 - 04:30 PM This site is at http://www.numachi.com/~rickheit/dtrad/ or you can click here
I have been reccomending this site because they post gifs of any song in the DT with a tune...but discovered something very interesting a few minutes ago. For the heck of it, asked for the songwrite file rather then abc or gif. IT HAD THE CHORDS. Now, I don't know if all of the songwrite files on this site have the chords, but all I have checked so far do. They don't mean much to me as I don't play an instrument...I need the melody line, but I know a lot of people are looking for the chords. |

Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: katlaughing Date: 09 Feb 00 - 04:43 PM MMario, would you please doublecheck the addy? I've tried it several times and can't get it to go there. Thanks, kat |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: MMario Date: 09 Feb 00 - 04:53 PM click and go. the link works for me.....try it without the ending "/" |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Metchosin Date: 09 Feb 00 - 05:01 PM MMario, it doesn't work for me either, I have tried the clicky thing and the address without the / and both attempts failed. |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: sophocleese Date: 09 Feb 00 - 05:05 PM I can usually get into this site, I have it bookmarked, but today for some reason or other I can't get into it. MMario may have the address right but the site's not up at the moment . |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: MMario Date: 09 Feb 00 - 05:09 PM odd, I've been in and out of the site all afternoon, and in fact just went there and looked up a song just to make sure......I used the link above. |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: sophocleese Date: 09 Feb 00 - 05:18 PM I just tried it through my bookmark and through the link and couldn't get through. MMario do you think you could stop standing in the doorway? :) Thanks. |

Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Áine Date: 09 Feb 00 - 05:22 PM MMario, I get in either. Are you sure that you copied the URL right? -- Áine |

Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Max Date: 09 Feb 00 - 06:17 PM Traders. At least my site works. |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: MMario Date: 09 Feb 00 - 08:35 PM max - I only go to them when I am forced to! *grin* |

Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: raredance Date: 09 Feb 00 - 09:44 PM "traders?". And I thoght I had a monopoly on bad spelling and lack of proof reading. I see it's actually a contagion among us. rich r |

Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: sophocleese Date: 09 Feb 00 - 10:40 PM Oh Max, you know that you are first in my heart for music. My relationship with the other site is purely platonic, I assure you. It doesn't have THE FORUM!!! |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Peg Date: 10 Feb 00 - 10:21 AM i have also tried several times to get in and no luck; message says the URL has no DNS entry...have tried various forms of the address, too... help? |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: MMario Date: 10 Feb 00 - 10:26 AM it's working for me....but last night I couldn't get it. the other difference is last night I was using IE, yesterday and today Netsacape |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: sophocleese Date: 10 Feb 00 - 10:28 AM I'm using Internet Exploder and its working for me at the moment. Apparently things have been a little screwed up on the net this week so maybe some glitches are still in the system. |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: MMario Date: 10 Feb 00 - 10:33 AM those glitches breed like rabbits; worse then roaches |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: sophocleese Date: 10 Feb 00 - 10:43 AM What is the proper group name for glitches then? A clutch of glitches. A clot? A glut? |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: MMario Date: 10 Feb 00 - 10:53 AM a "network" of glitches...... |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Troll Date: 10 Feb 00 - 12:03 PM A "bother" of glitches troll |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Bert Date: 10 Feb 00 - 12:10 PM A Microsoft of glitches |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Peg Date: 10 Feb 00 - 12:12 PM a snitch of glitsches... I like glut, too... |

Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: McGrath of Harlow Date: 10 Feb 00 - 02:24 PM I think mirror sites are protection, not competition. |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: dick greenhaus Date: 10 Feb 00 - 08:50 PM THe DT ain't competitive. I wish I could reach the person generating the site under discussion--I'd love to incorporate his score-generating program here, if he'd be willing to share it. |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: MMario Date: 12 Feb 00 - 09:56 AM this is so bizarre. I can reach the site every time from work; can't reach it at all from home. |

Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Conrad Bladey (Peasant- Inactive) Date: 13 Feb 00 - 12:19 AM I went to http://www.google.com put in the url to search it then received a listing and selected the cache version as that is independent of the actual server. It worked fine whereas using the addresalone did not work. Conrad |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Sorcha Date: 13 Feb 00 - 01:32 AM I have never had any trouble gettin into the site, either from my bookmark, or MMario's link. |

Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: katlaughing Date: 13 Feb 00 - 08:20 AM Conrad, thank you for the info on finding it through google.com. I did that and voila! First time I've been able to get in there. Here's a blue clickie thingie for anyone else who'd like to try it through google.com. Dick, don't know if you've been there or not, so I copied this thinking it might help: "The scores are generated by a program which reads the SongWright format and converts it into MusicTeX, a set of macros for the TeX or LaTeX typesetting systems (last I looked, MusicTeX was available via anonymous FTP)" katlaughing

|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Uncle_DaveO Date: 13 Feb 00 - 08:59 AM kat, I used your blue clicky thing and got the front page of this, but then it won't search; neither a text search nor clicking on an alphabetic listing letter reaches anything.
|
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: GUEST,Gene Date: 13 Feb 00 - 11:28 AM NS does not work for me either.... |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Conrad Bladey (Peasant- Inactive) Date: 13 Feb 00 - 01:18 PM I have not always been too pleased with the scores or abcs from this site. But generally they are ok. Conrad |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: dick greenhaus Date: 13 Feb 00 - 01:34 PM Kat/katlaughing- Dou you know anything about the program that translates SongWright to Tex or LaTex (or anything directly displayable)? |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: katlaughing Date: 13 Feb 00 - 02:37 PM Sorry, doesterr, I didn't realise that the cache couldn't be used the same way as the website. When i tried a search on it, I got the same inaccessbile message, darn it! Dick, sorry, I don't know beans about it. That is just what I copied from the front page of the site we're all trying to get to, for you to see. I was hoping you'd know what it was. I wonder if Alison, Alan in Oz, Jeri, or Jon Freeman might know? katlaughing |

Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Joe Offer Date: 13 Feb 00 - 07:40 PM A couple of times last week, I was able to access the site using the link in the first message. Doesn't work now. I tried tracing back through the guy's server, and it seems it's the server that's unreliable. That's been the history of that since since I first became aware of it - oftentimes, it just don't work. -Joe Offer- |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: dick greenhaus Date: 14 Feb 00 - 05:33 PM Joe (or anybody else)-- If you can find a way for me to get in touch with the guy who created the site, I'd love to a) congratulate him and b)see if we can join forces. |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Joe Offer Date: 16 Feb 00 - 01:40 AM I sent him an e-mail, Dick. -Joe- |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: MMario Date: 16 Feb 00 - 08:39 AM I did also |

Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: KingBrilliant Date: 16 Feb 00 - 09:08 AM Now there's a treasure. Kris |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: John in Brisbane Date: 17 Feb 00 - 06:13 PM Dick, I trust that Joe or MMario get a response. In the meantime I hope that I have located most of the elements of the software to make it happen, but please bear in mind that I'll have to learn some new tricks in a hurry in order to assess whether I'm on the right track. Piecing it all together in an automated way will then become a whole new story. Regards, John |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: MMario Date: 19 Feb 00 - 09:24 PM they were having site problems but that appears to have cleared up. |
|
Subject: RE: Yet another Digital Tradition Site From: Conrad Bladey (Peasant- Inactive) Date: 19 Feb 00 - 10:43 PM when you go from google via cache you must create a new url for the links from the first page. figure out what the file name is remove the file name for the main page and insert it. then the google cache will be the server for the link as well... hope this helps.... bobbing around with a bad cold at present....
