Try the parent directory.  You wouldn't  want  to  build  it  in  the
jcabc2ps  directory, because then it would try to include itself.  In
.../src/ there are several tar.gz files.  The latest ones have  dates
in the name saying when they were built.

Yeah; that's a common problem.  I also play a lot of Scandinavian
music, where there are also a lot of nameless tunes.

No; I don't know much of that sort of dance.  But there are some good
tunes ...


Anyway, I'm off to a big local dance festival for the rest of the
weekend.

about the mystery breton tune that Tri Yann calls "Kerfank 1870",
you said :


"Looking through old mail, I ran across this one.  Did anyone give
you
any information about the tune? It's a nice tune, and it'd be good
to
have a proper name, etc."


| Anybody know anything about this tune?  (I already asked this on
| uk.music.folk, no answer).  I got it as a graphics file off the
| Internet years ago and have been playing it ever since, but have
| come across it recently in two different contexts - a Canadian
| fiddler I know plays it, and the first half is similar to the
| opening of the 19th century Welsh hymn tune "Alexander".  So I'd
| like to know more about it; the Breton title would be a start.

I wish there where a danse notation as simple as Abc notation to
use, in order to remember or share trad. danses. (Baroques
notations like Feuillet's one are only graphical, and not easy to
use).
