Concerning John Chamber tune finder (I find it very useful and use it to find new tune, but I download always the full version of the abc file on the original site, so if I'm a bit fool, it's obviously for other reasons)
Jack Campin said : > assuming you haven't been fool enough to fish >a single tune off the web with the Tune Finder discarding its context. Sometimes I feel the need to find a tune by composer, but it doesn't seems to be possible from JC tune finder. For example, all the "tunes" by Marin Marais (there is some on the web). It could be nice to be able to search your tune finder by any abc fields, like by D: for example if you like Malicorne and want to find some traditional tunes they've made a cover of. John Chamber said : >(And I'll once again mention that I can exclude sites or URLs from my >indexes. If you don't want something indexed, send me the URL. Could we directly insert a little code at the beginning of an abc file to exclude it from your tune finder, like for the robot exclusion header in html files ? I hope people won't use it to fool your tune finder, but to prevent it from indexing useless tunes (for example I've made a 'favorite' for my own purposes and it's a replication of other abc files, and I've also some tunes which are still works in progress or temporary files (I sent it to my website for backup only) This code could be in the form : %%tunefinder-exclude * so it could exclude the whole file. Or if it's possible it could exclude some particuliar tunes in it (identified with the X: field) : %%tunefinder-exclude 1 2 4 7 8 12 21 34-42 >According to my server logs, this happens but isn't common.

This accounts for roughly 2/3 I can't compare my work with your, but I can also see what pple are seeing on my homepage. I've seen that most of them looked at the pdf version (I only propose abc or pdf), and for some tunebooks didn't care at all at the abc one (I would have made the opposite) For example for the month of june : /abc/orain.pdf 20 and none of them downloaded the abc version and out of the 28 who came on my page about Tielman Susato, 10 downloaded the partitions in pdf but none looked at the abc file. Strangely it was the opposite for my book of song by H. Davenson : abc/davenson.abc 124 abc/davenson.pdf 99 I was quite amazed to see how many pple went on my main page just for one month abc/abc.html 367 but few downloaded all my set of tunes abc/anmn_abc.zip 19 I've recently added a search engine, and it can also reveal that pple can come on the abc page I made for other purposes : I've found in the log file things such as : 35 tour vynyle disque axel bauer nothing to do with abc or folk / ancient music :) ___________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!? -- Une adresse @yahoo.fr gratuite et en fran�ais !
