Hi there, long time no post 'catters My Wife has written a few tunes and we have the sheet music. We want to release the music for other people to play. Can I put the scanned sheet music on the web and link to it in a new thread in "new tunes"?

Yes, you could do that. You might make the title of the thread more descriptive (what tunes? whose tunes? etc.)

I prefer to see tunes in abc format. You can use a program such as ABCMus to play the abc file and also make a midi file.

To post on Mudcat you could just post the abc with the following statement:
Copy the abc file and paste into Concertina.net, then click on 'convert' to get a score and a midi file.

I use Noteworthy Composer to write the score and then convert it into an abc file with abc2nwc, but it's not hard to write an abc file directly.

Anyway, I always am interested in new tunes.

Cheers, S. in Seattle

Hi, Bob - if you're posting a number of tunes of your own composition, it's preferable that you keep them together, preferably in one thread. You can use this one, if you like - I can modify the thread title to suit.

hacksawbob, it's perfectly acceptable to link to tunes you've put up elsewhere. We LIKE links to tunes!

Mr. BOB

WHY ????

There are several hundred "web-spaces" world-wide that will give you a FREE 1,000,000 (gig)

Secure a web-presence....upload....your original family produced "FOLK" .... then "connect/link" to the Mudcat....those that are interested CAN connect....Max will be able to keep the overhead costs lower.

If it ain't TRAD - Mr. Joe - why archive to the MC?

Sincerely, (late to two weeks of Irish trad)

OK here are the links to the images on My flikr page. Please feel free to amend the title to suit Max. I am not familiar with the naming protocol here yet. These are the "large files" The originals are even bigger and suitable for broadband only but would be better for printing. Feedback to [e-mail] Some of the Guitar chords are tricky and I haven't quite mastered the quick changes, but they are well worth it if you can get your fingers 'round them. We play the first three together as a set.
