Patrick Greetings, Patrick - The tempo indications are just what they say. There's a lot of variation in tempo for the same tune at various sessions.This may not be a lot of help, but I would suggest three possibilities: 1) play the midi at a default or provisional tempo, decide whether it sounds right to you, then modify the tempo accordingly; 2) get a metronome with a beat input button, play or hum the tune the way you think it should go, then tap the metronome button at that pace to find the tempo; or 3) find a recording or an Irish session musician who will play the tune for you, and determine that tempo. No hard and fast rules, I'm afraid. I'd like to see the results when you're done. Incidentally, if you didn't know, all the O'Neill's tunes have been transcribed using ABC format and are freely available. Some of them may give tempos; I don't know. If you want to check them out, go to http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/cgi/abc/tunefind enter the tune name, and you can check out the ABC source file, a .jpg, a .png, and other formats. There will be *multiple* hits for each tune. If you want the O'Neill's, it will be identified by a number (I can't remember what the number is) all the way to the left of the entry.

Arpeggios with arrows across voices

You need to get rid of the barcheck between the first and second alternatives.
You can't have anything between the closing brace of one and the opening brace
of another. Move the barchecks inside the braces.

From the Adobe web site on Trust Manager settings in Acrobat: To open the Trust Manager preferences, open the Preferences dialog box, and select Trust Manager on the left. Allow Opening Of Non-PDF File Attachments With External Applications When selected, allows file attachments to start external applications when you open the files. You must have the external applications to open the files. Note: For security reasons, certain file types (such as .zip and .exe files) cannot be saved or opened with Acrobat. Acrobat products maintain a registry/plist-level black and white list of file types that can be saved and opened with Acrobat. You cannot change this list by using the Acrobat interface. The only way to change the list is by manually editing the registry, which is not recommended. Acrobat allows you to attach files that cannot be saved or opened from the application. However, this practice is not recommended. On Windows, you can edit the registry to gain access to the attachment (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Policies\Adobe\Adobe Acrobat\9.0\FeatureLockDown\cDefaultLaunchAttachmentPerms. tBuiltInPermList is the REG_SZ value to change.), but on Linux, which is I what I'm using, I believe that the attachment is completely inaccessible. If you want the attachment to be accessible, you can change the file extension to something allowed before attaching it - eg make it file.tar.bz2.txt - but the user then needs to be savvy enough to rename the file after saving it.

Re: How do you tell tempo for indications in English (music question, not Lilypond question)
What you are asking, it seems is, 'what speed is 'cheerful''? Which doesn't makes much sense. I disagree... at least in part. I think that there is a range of speeds that most musicians would say Yes, that is cheerful. when they hear it. In other words it requires some musicality, some judgment, since it is less prescriptive than the Beethoven score where he writes half-note = 72. There are certainly tempos which are not cheerful (e.g. quarter-note = 52). If you get it wrong in the MIDI file, don't feel bad. I've heard, for example, performances of Tchaikovsky's Fifth by professional orchestras (I know, it's the conductors fault, not the orchestra's) where the second movement was painfully slow - just WRONG to my ears (...and it's much harder to play the horn solo well ;-) I'm sure there's more variability (of performance tempi) in Irish folk tunes than in Tchaikovsky symphonies, so it is to be expected. Besides, I don't think anyone will confuse a MIDI performance with a live performance, and place too high an expectation on authenticity.

The whole idea of chord names is that one G is the same as another. A few extensions have come in over the years, the most important being the slash bass. Either populate your score with diagrams or tab or write out what you want. There is no need to mess with the regular chord names. You will find that useless innovations which are doomed to obsolescence are not appreciated, and even less appreciated if they require explanation.

This could be useful for higher chords: f:dim 1231x1 fis:dim 2342x2 g:dim 3453x3 gis:dim 4564x4 a:dim 5675x5 bes:dim 6786x6 b:dim 7897x7 b) xx6464 or 4x6464 This fingering for the Fdim seems to be a very versatile fingering that I'd expect to see used a lot. I know that I'd personaly like it, because it's relatively easy and consistent: cis:dim xx2020 d:dim xx3131 ees:dim xx4242 e:dim xx5353 f:dim xx6464 c) x89A9x (A = 10) This one is also useful a:dim x0121x bes:dim x1232x b:dim x2343x c:dim x3454x cis:dim x4565x d:dim x5676x ees:dim x6787x e:dim x7898x f:dim x89a9x This gives lots of opportunities for the table below. I tend to favor diagrams with low fret numbers and muted strings at either the top or the bottom, rather than in the middle. Any recommendations?
