It is also reasonable to assume that many (most?) of the abc users actually fall in several of these camps. I myself fit into all of them and I would be hard pressed to characterize myself as doing one over any other. I use the plaintext abc as an aid memoire (using my Palm) to jumpstart me on tunes. I maintain a small collection of morris dance tunes. I use BarFly and PalmAbc for transcribing, displaying and playing tunes (especially the former for when I want to check the accuracy of my transcriptions). I frequently send or receive tunes to and from individuals and listservs. To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
