Often I post just one voice of a multi-part piece.  Or just enough of
the voice to illustrate the feature or misfeature I'm talking about in
my post.  Since the ABC standard isn't very standard with respect to
multiple voice works, it wouldn't always be useful to post the whole
thing.  And a lot of the pieces I publish are parts of larger works -- 
I've done the two voice and three-voice canzonets by Thomas Morley,
and I'm working on the Dowland books of lute songs and ayres.  So the
final typesetting is the book form of that, and each ABC file is just
a small piece of the whole work.

The one in my .sig is for everyone.
http://www.laymusic.org/music-publish.html is the section that has all
my publishing.  I do also have a private one running on my home
machine that I'll occasionally use to share things with friends that
would take up too much space on the public one.  But I usually put my
transcriptions up in public pretty soon after I do them.  Sometimes
people help me with the proofreading because of that.
