  1. Maybe I'm missing something vital, but that tutor appears to be for an Anglo? The OP states that they have a Duet? Aren't the two systems incompatible? Whatever, here is another Duet tutor... ______________________ There are also a couple of downloadable items here, but they may not be suitable on the grounds of different system and/or 'age'...
  2. Thanks! Yup! I'd already sussed it. I've never had the occasion to use an XML file before, so wasn't quite sure precisely what I should be doing. Simply changing the extension of the original XML file from .musicxml to .xml allowed me to import the file directly into EasyABC. This has turned into a useful exercise in familiarising myself with using XML, (even if only a little) - another potentially useful tool in the toolbox... The ABC code generated by importing direct into EasyABC looks a bit different to the ABC code I generated at first, but was (musically) essentially the same. Once I'd 'got my ear in' this seemed to behave beautifully. Thanks - nice tune...
  3. Thank you for the XML file! For some reason, I couldn't import the XML file into EasyABC, so I tried a new (to me) sequence of operations with this one: load the XML file into ME's program save as ABC, and load that into EasyABC final fine editing with EasyABC (not that there was all that much to do... Worked almost perfectly. There was a slight anomaly on playback... Later: Fixed - see next post but one below...
  4. I did a quick trawl through my 'Master Tune Book' and came up with the attached tunes. Some duplication, some ambiguity over tune names, some non-Irish. Whether they are 'thematically appropriate' is above my pay-grade... SaintPatrick.abc SaintPatrick.pdf
  5. They provide a link back to the Tune book Table of Contents. Look at the section "Adding a PDF Tunebook Table of Contents and Index" in the User Guide to see how to do this...
  6. Answer my own question! I think I may have mis-understood exactly how (and when) this feature operates. It's now back (if it ever really went away!).
  7. Thank you for the continuing interest. However, unfortunately my pal has suddenly been hit with a large (~£10k) bill for repairs to the property he lives in, so he's had to shelve any idea of purchasing a G/D for the time being...
  8. I hope I'm sending this to the right destination... I've always seen a sort of summary panel at the right hand side of my screen when looking at concertina.net. It included stuff like most active threads and things like that. It's now disappeared. I'm not aware of having made any changes myself. Any ideas why this panel has vanished? Ta...
  9. True story - it was that recording of 'Salmon Tails' which really decided me to get stuck in and learn to play the thing - brilliant - a belated thank you!
  10. I'm not familiar with the tune, or the playing of Bob Cann, but this was lurking in one of my ABC files under the title 'Uncle Jim's Barn Dance'. I've attached ABC and PDF. Is this the one you are looking for? ujbd.abc ujbd.pdf
  11. I found this version on Soundcloud: https://soundcloud.com/ormuz-music/bel-artilleur-de-bonne-mine Presumably this is the group to whom Ptarmigan refers...
  12. Such is life! Thanks anyway... Incidentally, where is the picture? It rocky enough to be Brittany - not a good place to be in a yacht on a dark and stormy night with an onshore wind...
  13. That's extremely nice!! ABC code/score anywhere, or am I going to have to try and 'earole' it? I can't see it anywhere in 'the usual places'...
  14. The clutter argument is perfectly reasonable - that's why I phrased it as a question rather than a suggestion. I think I may well have responded in the same way. Thanks for the response.
  15. That's pretty neat! Is there an argument for introducing such a count-in time to 'ordinary' playback as well as in the 'trainer'? Is it possible (silly question really...)?
