Timour the Tartar - ABC notation

Whistle
1

Okay, so I have this tune in the key of A…icky. Let’s transpose it down to G. Got the ABC, did a nice little swap out of notes, copied it all into WIN2ABC…tried to print it out…error…


Argh!

Can someone tell me what’s wrong? WIN2ABC will play it…just not show it in musical notation.

I don’t know the tune so I don’t know if it came out right but concertina.net’s Tune-o-Tron gave me back an image:

(temporary image I imagine, don’t know how long it will last.)

Try this. The meter ( M: C ) needs to be declared for ABC2Win to be truly happy.

It’s usually called Peter Street and is played in G.
