How does different platforms handle tarballs anyways? (You did did find the slightly hidden (at the bottom of the "songs" page) tarball with all tunes in abc, right?) My idea behind using the same two voice approach to all tunes is that 1) Although a certain tune can be set within the standard, I often find mysel adding alternate chords later where I suddenly need My Hack. So might as well to it from the beginning 2) All tunes follow the same conventions which for instance means that: 3) It is more easy to extract the correct voices (using abcselect), for the different types of output. I might note that this site started as you regular a-bunch-of-100%-standard-abc-files-+-a-tarball-site, but my visitors often didn't want to know about abc or just needed a specific tune (often transposed), so I broke away. I would love to have everything as standard abc, but since that won't do what I need, I found the best (for my purpose) abc'er around which is abcm2ps, stuck to that, and used what it can do. Maybe my site is not a real abc site, but a songbook-site that can output abcm2ps type of abc. So what? My visitors need the pdf's more than the abc, so the abc is more of an internal format.
