...I'm happy to do MIDI transcriptions, but fitting the lyrics to the tunes will have to be done by somebody else.

Sorry

MMario,

You've not put me off.

I'll go to the library next week, photocopy a few pages of Bronson and send you the results.

Say, I start at #50 so as not to replicate your work?

uhm....do you really mean that? I have access to the condensed one volume edition. I've been working on it a little at a time, but am only up to page 59. (I think that's through # 13) I have been copying the lyrics to text files and setting one verse to the tune. Using Noteworthy Composer. (Nwc files can be read by a noteworthy reader addin for your browser - and NWC can be converted to midi or abc)

I've been toying with the idea of posting it on the web -but since I don't have any server space myself haven't done much.

I also am willing to contribute to a larger project - but don't want to coordinate it.

Any ambitious people out there with lots of time?

Meanwhile - JJ, have you seen the list of missing tunes from the DT? Some of them I am sure are in the complete Bronson.

someone stop me before I scare JJ off

MMario,

What exactly do you mean, when you wish that someone would just post Bronson...?

I have access, via my library to 3 volumes of Bronson.

I know how to turn notes into midi, and would be happy to start doing so, if I could see that as being part of a bigger project.

MMario,
Thanks for the tip. Great site. I have a set of the Dover reprints. I bought them so long ago they only cost $2.75 per volume.

Yes, one big file is a pain for downloading - but not as much as 300-odd separate files!

Thanks for that Mmario.

Great resource. Shame that's all on one (very) long page though.

The page is 3.5 Mb! A big issue for those with slow connections
