The Nottingham database notated their tunes in a special notation format - as far as I can tell it's a bit of a cross between ABC, Songwright and ?. From my own perspective I had intended to leave the experts to convert this database to ABC, but because you've raised the topic I'll have a new look at the Nottingham database index and see how fertile it looks from a song perspective. The database has its own URL which I have squirreled away somewhere. I'm sure that Bruce O. would have very extensive knowledge on this subject.

I was very interested that Mark Knopfler's beautiful theme music to the movie CAL was in the Nottingham stuff. With an initial rush of blood I did contemplate converting it to ABC, but quickly found it in the ABC Tune Index and was spared the bother.
This is a great piece of music, I hope that at least a few people enjoy it.
