Has anyone thought of compiling a centralized database of abc tunes similar to olga.net..
</discussion>
But I've still not heard anything that makes me think that this sort of centralised abc database has any advantage or real purpose.
JC's tune finder is a (wonderful wonderful wonderful) tool that gives quick search and retrieval access to any abc tune that it knows about, whether it be in Richard's tune book or Henrik's files or my files or wherever. So long as JC's tune finder knows about the file, there is immediate access.
If (naming two of the major collection maintainers as prime examples) Richard or Henrik suddenly threw a major hissy fit and completely removed their tune resources from the web, or suffered a catastrophic life or data event that wiped out the collections, we'd all be the poorer, and in that situation we'd be grateful that someone had taken a mirror before said event - but that isn't what we're talking about - is it?
