Well, someone did it. The O’Neill’s book online, in all formats (ABC and sheet, etc).
Wow.
Anyway, a great great resource.

WOW is right!
It is especially helpful that the compiler of this database has done some of the transpositional heavy lifting. I know as I have “browsed” through the book with my flute, I’ve probably missed some great tunes due to them being in “odd” keys. Sometimes I’ll go to the piano and pound out something in Bb or worse, but usually I just skip it.
