the roll is a well-understood term meaning 'decorate here as appropriate to
your combination of instrument, region and personal aesthetic'.
It will be interesting to see where the next explosion (of content, I mean, not
of personality!) takes place. I'd love to see it in the area of vocal music -
hymns and such-like. My personal opinion is that abc is most useful
for large bodies of similarly-styled music to be used by musicians as a rough
guide to repertoire instead of an exact guide to performance. I guess that's
why I don't expect an explosion of content when/if Finale supports abc
output...

From: "Arent Storm" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>Hardly anybody will know what an Irish-roll is (is it eatable?)Is there even such thing? In Krassen's version of O'Neils, I find mention of a long roll and a short roll in Irish fiddle playing. He also comments that his notation is only appropriate for fiddle and that players of other instruments may have to modify it. It seems to me that the situation is a lot more complicated than just one "universal" Irish roll.To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
