On the subject of sharing tunes in emails, here's a transcription I did recently after Anthony Robb reminded me of Will Atkinson's playing of Miss Forbes' Farewell. It's very slightly idealised, in that Will does play all the 'deviations' included in the second pass through the tune, but not quite as systematically as I've notated them - which is no criticism of Will.
