I:abc-charset utf-8 BB's webABC "Music's the Very Best Thing" volume 2 %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% = = This file contains tunes from the following sources: (a) all tunes from MVBT volume 1 (b) all tunes from the "Tunes from Recordings" folder (c) selected tunes from the "Recently Composed" folder (d) all tunes from the Eddie Dooley folder These files should work in any ABC translator. Note however that the Q: field might need tweaking to achieve the correct playback speed. This file was created in EasyABC, which interprets Q:### differently from BarFly. The simplest fix is to double the speed for BarFly (e.g. EasyABC Q:160 = BarFly Q:320). TO PRINT THE COMMENTARY BELOW THE TUNE: The "notes and comments" below the tune are non-printing (they are however present in the PDF files). If for some reason you wish to include them when printing from your ABC file, you'll have to use some typesetting commands (format %%command) before and after the text, as follows: % %%textoption align % %%begintext These are on two lines between the last line of music and the text, while % %%endtext is on a line below the text . (I put a single % in the lines above to disable the commands.) There should be no space between the last music line and the first typesetting command (so they say). Note however that you'll have to insert a blank line before playing the tune back or else you'll hear some weird sounds as the abcmidi program tries to read the characters in the text. I'm not sure why that happens, but it does! %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% Tune comments in quotes are the composer's unless otherwise specified. %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% %%% X:187 T:Sandpiper (reel), The T:Sandymount, Mick Hand's F:file ID mvbt2/187sand D:"Is It Yourself?"

De Danann got the tune from Dan. I have seen it in other collections since MVBT-1 was published in 1995, occasionally with different names. Dan himself was the one who called it "Dan Collins' Father's Jig", which is the name I used in MVBT-1, but "Bill Collins'" is a lot easier. Regardless of the name, it remains one of my favorite jigs. %%endtext %%% X:16 T:Big Snug's Reel C:John Whelan F:file ID mvbt2/016big_s Z:bill@capeirish.com N:Named for one of John's students.
