It hadn't occurred to me that someone would actually do this, and I've been rather neglectful about posting my numbers lately. I did a search a few days ago, so maybe I should add another data point. The usual disclaimers should probably be included: Lots of tunes have more than one title, lots of titles go with more than one tune, and lots of abc files are mirrored at more than one site. My own site has inflated figures because I routinely link tunes into more than one directory for classification purposes. And so on. But still, the numbers have some minimal meaning. Note that I've recently discovered several dozen more small sites, which I actually consider more significant than the few large sites. This means that more people are discovering abc and putting their tunes online, adding to the variety. OTOH, the total counts are somewhat lower than a month ago, because a large (mostly mirror) site at geocities seems to have disappeared. Anyway, here are the numbers. The "diff" columns are the changes in the last month. If anyone knows of online abc tunes at a site not listed here, let me know.
