Once indexed we will make a flat file database available through these pages enabling you the fiddler to find the location of tunes you may have heard either in concerts or during sessions. Interestingly quite a number of Scottish tunes are being heard at Irish sessions these days. If you are looking for sheet music on the web there are many sources and most use a method of transcription designed for the PC and the Net called ABC . There are numerous programmes that can read ABC format and play the tunes on several platforms including both PC's and Mac's. One such programme is ABC2WIN developed by Jim Vint and available for download from his homepage, this programme is shareware and requires registration to allow the printing of scores but is fully functional otherwise.
Registration is recommended and the programme is excellent value.
In addition, tunes are also available in midi format if this more to your liking on many sites and these give you the ability to listen through a soundcard or attached midi enabled keyboard together with the many additional benefits of midi. You will find numerous other programmes around the web that use ABC format and the above links should provide some base addresses worthy of deeper investigation. Many pages contain substantial lists of tunes in ABC format. Either the abc homepage or Jim Vint's is a good start. Or you might just start with our links page and try some of the links in the sheet music section.
