thanks ulrich, i will have to figure out how to read it as i only read standard notation.
a strange thing just happened, i got an e-mail from c&f telling me that my post had just been answered :boggle: that has never happened before.
thanks again, tansy
standard notation anyone? i spent a lot of time on google with it but never found the music, many referances to it though.

This is in ABC notation. ABC allows music to be transcribed quickly and transparently regardless of the platform. I’ve got a Mac power book and Barfly is the program of choice. I’m sure the PC side of the house has translation programs as well. Do a google on ABC notation and I’m sure you’ll find a bunch of information. Have fun.

Just copy and paste the section above in to the “ABC Convert-A-Matic”
at Concertina.net to get the sheet music and midi.
