Subject: Posting ABC Tunes From: Joe Offer Date: 25 Jul 00 - 02:56 PM I had some question about the Q: tempo line in ABC. Here's the official word, from ABC Standard V1.6 Q - tempo; can be used to specify the notes per minute, e.g. if the default note length is an eighth note then Q:120 or Q:C=120 is 120 eighth notes per minute. Similarly Q:C3=40 would be 40 dotted quarter notes per minute. An absolute tempo may also be set, e.g. Q:1/8=120 is also 120 eighth notes per minute, irrespective of the default note length.
Remember that if you post lyrics or ABC tunes at Mudcat, you need to include <br> line breaks on every line. -Joe Offer- |

Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing tunes wanted: From: alison Date: 25 Jul 00 - 08:47 AM please check both places.... as some tunes which have not made it into the dt may already be at Mudcat MIDIs waiting to be harvested....... slainte alison |
Subject: RE: Tune Add: Missing tunes wanted: From: MMario Date: 25 Jul 00 - 08:28 AM Sorry Joe. will try to do whatever to make your work easier. FYI - I am trying to spot tunes posted and annotate the list with the addresses of the tunes, so I can send a full list to you when/if you want. |
Subject: Preparing tunes for harvesting From: Joe Offer Date: 25 Jul 00 - 04:46 AM I'm having trouble with the ABC's that have been posted in the last few days. For one thing, it would be better if they did not have chords, since the tunes in the Digital Tradition have only the melody lines. If you have chords, it would be best if you post TWO versions, one with chords and one without. Also, many of the ABC tunes don't seem to work, and I have to play around with them to get them right. In the tune above, I believe the "Q" line should read: Q:1/4=72 - am I correct? [No, I'm not - see below] If you prepared the tune in another format - MIDI or Noteworthy, for example, it might be better to submit the tune in the original format, rather than risking loss of part of the tune by running it through a converter. If there is an existing thread on the song, PLEASE put the tune in that thread. Every thread we start makes things that much harder to find around here. There is no need to start a new thread for every tune you post. Why not start a thread and put a hundred tunes in it? - they will be much easier to find, especially if you remember to put the name of the song in the message's "Subject" line. If you can add a link to the lyrics, all the better. It's a wonderful thing to post tunes - but if they don't work or can't be found, it doesn't do much good. -Joe Offer, lost- |

Even though this tune is usually credited to Stephen Foster, it is traditional Irish Air called "Ni Cheicim Nios Thu A Mhuirnin"--I Won't See You Anymore, My Dear. Info from Eugene O'Donnell Slow Airs and Set Dances with Mick Moloney Green Linnet # CSIF 1015. (did i finally get it all right? and in the right place, etc? i sure hope so)

Subject: Missing tunes wanted: From: MMario Date: 24 Jul 00 - 12:26 PM This list of 3800 plus tunes missing from the DT is available by e-mail from me if people want it. (post here or PM me with your address) Thank you to those who have already requested it. This thread is also an appropriate place to post the tunes in ABC or Miditxt, (I can convert them to midi from there if necessary) or you can post them in a thread about the song and post a link here. I will try to keep the main list updated. Also you can post here if you have sent a "missing tune" to Alan_of_Oz as a midi file. Also if you HAVE the music and want to "claim" the song as a contribution but haven't got the midi/abc/whatever done yet, you can post here to eliminate duplicate efforts. Make sense? I hope so. 7/21/00 I send Alan the midi for "Your cheating heart" Please Post Tunes Here (click) |
