A wonderful archive! It took me just a few moments to copy all the tunes
to a single abc file and I now have a superb tune source available, not
only on my PC but also on my Palm PDA (playable with PalmABC). Thank
you.

If it's in E phrygian and is a flamenco piece (perhaps phrygian major)
you'll hear a characteristic ending sequence of Am = G7 = Fmaj7 = E
If it's in the minor phrygian then I haven't a clue and the same applies
to F lydian.
I don't think I've encountered that distinction between two kinds
With gapped scales: Will a tune with a missing seventh
be called ionian or mixolydian in the key+mode system?
Why should it be called either since it's not a heptatonic scale?
I suggested how we could deal with this years ago. There is no standard
for putting this in key signatures, but

I gave a copy of my CD-ROM to the National Library of Scotland.
They said, great, can we have six of them please? This because
they're part of the legal-deposit system in the UK, including
others like the Mitchell, the Bodleian and the British Library.
They also gave me the darnedest form,

I'd be happy to let Skink be used for that purpose - it will directly open
a URL (use the Fetch menu selection from the File menu). It is, however,
a reasonably fully-featured text editor, so would it be necessary or
desirable to disable some of that functionality? If you want to play

Yes. In Ephr, the ^G from the E major in the harmony creeps into the tune
now and again. But for most
Actually Muse isn;t locked up quite that badly - it will turn ABC into

Maybe I should make Muse2 so that it will *play* ABC for free.
