Tunes Index for Sessions

Index

The Main index of tunes..

Index by Time Signature

The same tunes, but grouped by time signature..

First Lines

The first four or five bars of all the ABC tunes on this list.

Midi Index

The same index of tunes, but with the ABC scores is a basic midi presentation of the melody..

What's this all about?

Playing at local sessions I found that using paper copies of tunes was all very well, but as often as not by the time I'd found the right page the tune was halfway through. So this is an attempt to present tunes in a format to quickly display on a smartphone or tablet.

Using the Index.

If you just want to see a single tune then click on ABC or chords. ABC - which presents the music in score /sheet music format - is probably most generally useful for most people.
If you wish to play a set of tunes, then select 1st, 2nd and even 3rd or 4th for the relevant tunes on the right hand side of the screen, and hit the appropriate button in the lower right corner to display. The chord chart format is for grid style chord charts.

One serious limitation of this version of the program is that doesn't cope that well with oddly laid out ABC files. If you have an ABC file that doesn't display then this is the most likely cause. For now I'm afraid you'll need to edit the file with a text editor and rearrange it. Probably best to have the K: field immediately before the music section starts and avoid comments and overflow lines. It also doesn't handle files with multiple tunes. There must be just one tune per ABC file.
