|  I know I said I was going to shut up about this for the time being, but while
|  looking for Morrison's Reel on John Chambers' tune finder I came across a lot
|  of versions of Morrison's Jig.  Here are four of them.  Observe the
|  K:commands.
|
|  ...
|  K:D
|  K:EDor
|  K:G
|  K:Bm
|  ...

|  Why is life so complicated?  Wouldn't K:^f^c be a lot simpler?

Yah.  This is one of the minor reasons I hacked abc2ps to  allow  it,
though it wasn't the primary reason.

The K:  line giving tonic and mode was a Good Idea, and in  principle
it's  useful  for  lookups.   But in practice, there are a surprising
number of musicians, some of them very good at playing music, who are
utterly clueless about keys and modes and such.  And, when you try to
educate them a bit, you quickly discover that they have no  intention
of  learning,  and are openly contemptuous of intellectuals who think
such things are important.  So there's no hope  of  ever  reaching  a
Perfect World in which all the tunes have the correct K:  line.  Note
the K:G, implying that at least one person couldn't even be  bothered
to distinguish major from minor and typed '^' before each 'c' without
wondering whether there was something suspicious about this.

Which doesn't mean that K:EDor is a bad idea.  It just means  that  a
lookup  using this useful information is forever doomed to miss a few
that are mislabelled.  But this is not materially different from  the
fact  that  a match on "Morrison's" misses those labelled "Morison's"
or "Morisson's" or "Morrisson's".  And the fact that people can't  be
bothered to add "Reel" (or even include a R: line) makes it difficult
to filter out the versions of Morrison's Jig, and vice versa.  One of
the facts of life on the Web is a lot of low-quality text.

Unfortunately, nothing involving music notation will ever be  simple.
The needs and expectations of different musicians are just too, well,
different, for simplicity to be possible.  And  a  lot  of  musicians
aren't about to waste time making their notation easy for you. Even a
brief glance at a lot of the ABC on the net makes it abundantly clear
that many people don't give a damn about making it readable.

(It's fairlyeasy to write a nenglish parody,to illustrate thesortof a!
bc that alotof people produce.
Much of it,of course, is machine-genera!
ted by programs,that,present, a,graphical-interface,so the users don'!
tsee the abc themselves.It looks fine on their screen,so it must be f!
ine,right?)
