Anyone got the ABC (or dots) for 'Leaving Lochboisdale'. It's a slow Scottish air

http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/LEA_LEG.htm gives some info:

LEAVING LOCHBOISDALE. Scottish, Slow Air (6/8 time). B Minor. Standard. AABB'. Composed by Pipe Major J. Wilson. Martin (Ceol na Fidhle, Vol. 3), 1988; pg. 9. Old Blind Dogs – "Five."

I'm also looking for ABC for 'Farwell to Stromness'

There'a a MIDI On This Page
There are plenty of progs which will convert a MIDI to dots. Look on Mudcat for "Harmony" which is a prog by Mudcatter Pavane.
Quack!
GtD.

The Ceol na Fidhle version is screwed up, I think (crappy series of books, and the only person I know who learned this tune from it ended up with it it badly garbled).

Here's the right one, if the Mudcat software doesn't eat the broken-rhythm signs thinking they're HTML tags...

If that doesn't make sense, google for my name and email me.

Mudcat mangled that beyond recognition.
Email me for a correct version (try my gmail address, userid Jack dot Campin).

Thanks - a lovely tune - I'll give it an airing on the fiddle later this evening

What went wrong? What did you dio to fix it?

I see you've left my website URL out of the Z: line, is Mudcat's software so fucked up I can't claim attribution for my own transcriptions in the obviously useful way? (I've encountered that on another web forum - the admin fixed it as soon as I complained, so it is possible).

There are many places where ABC files may need to have embedded URLs.

I inserted the code for the less than character rather than the character itself (& l t ; with no spaces), but only within the tune itself.

I did not do it on your URL as I assumed it was a fully formed HTML URL anchor. Leaving out the angle brackets would fix that as they seem to have no purpose other than to hide the URL
