Sound isn't a problem for me as (somehow) I have ABCNavigator set to play
using something like a reedy violin ( I think it's set for harmonica) but
I'm a little stuck on the tempo for this one (not that good reading the
dots) and, when played, it raced away at a speed which I had no hope of
matching on anything! Certainly not on the pipes or gurdy without losing a
finger or two.
I'm possibly used to seeing a Q value (?) in the header of abc to set the
tempo.
It opened at 100 but, at 30, it sounds a rather nice tune.
Any suggestions as to the tempo (another well known tune that's at the same
tempo would do as I really don't know that much about abc either) :-)
Thanks,
Colin Hill

To John Julia & Matt and all
This has been a wonderful interchange and highly enjoyable save in one
respect. The horrible midi noise made as my computer plays the
examples. I can't be the only one who would love to hear the points
made on the instrument(s) the tune(s) was/were developed for.
A recording via an inexpensive mic directly into the computer would be
a vast improvement on the tinny piano I've been listening to. Could
there be a vault where examples are stored not just for people on this
list but other pipers too?
I realise some immediacy would be lost but it would be a wonderful
resource once the discussion was over.
Cheers
Anthony

Exactly - which is why I think there's two possible sets there.

Was he noting this down in haste, I wonder? There are similarities in
parts of the
Clough MSS, where the writing is obviously that of Tom (3), but not the
considered
and legible stuff of the "best" collection...

Copy, I think, is what we need (OK, so it's a wish list). It's easy to
look at an
MS and make an index, but with an anxious owner hovering one cannot
spend enough
time to even abc much.

OK, thanks for that. Thanks to a damaged right elbow, I'm not very
fluent on
anything at present.

Working out how to rake in all those tuition fees?? <grin>
