That's pretty funny! Of course, this idiot isn't the only one to have such a confusion. One problem with using the big search sites for ABC notation is that you have to wade through a lot of stuff for the ABC network. Then there are all the sites that teach the ABCs of something or other. There's also Anne Bell's Clarinet site, which is pretty good if you play clarinet; now if she would just transcribe a few of her favorite tunes into ABC form ... Something curious is that in recent months, I've found that the phrase "ABC tunes" now has a very high rate of spotting the right web sites, at least for the first 200 or so matches at the major search sites. This wasn't true a year ago. It seems that most people using ABC now use this phrase in their main web pages. I've found about 40 more sites for my tune finder by using this phrase. They mostly have only a few tunes, but I've often had the feeling that a lot of small sites is better news than a few big ones (even though mine is one of the biggest).
