I think that sounds quite good and I'm tempted to play it A B D E C ! I'll be giving it a go later but at a more modest pace. Comments on the abc: (hope you don't mind) %%partsbox 1 - could be just %%partsbox . Also this should be further down in the header, perhaps after the L: field but nothing should come betweed the X: and T: fields The second T: field line ends in (D, E) and the comma forces the E to appear at the begining of the line (syntax error caused by the comma in that particular position - I'll give you a full explanation if you wish) I would remove vmp. from the Z: field as this is no longer a Village Music Project transcription. Edit: typo

Roger this is folk music, if you wander off and change the tune entirely then it's Roger's Tink A Tink and ever more shall be so! Your ear will tell you if it's any good! Edited to add: Post a link to your version here, a live recording if you're up for it, but if not just a copy of the dots for others to try. Nobody will criticise you for having a go but they will post a 'gloves off' critique of your efforts!

One of the things I've always wanted to do with this thread is to bring the delightfully obscure to the attention of fellow musicians who might share my passion for tunes that are a bit quirky and off the beaten path. This is one such. The tune itself is well known, well documented, a standard, it has an A music and a B music. But wait, this version has a C music. It has a C music that is so odd it causes the transcriber to comment on its' incongruity with the rest of the tune. I love it and for me it fits like a glove. This is Tink A Tink as it was intended to be!

You could always start Paul Hardy's Second Session Tunebook!

To be honest I already had several tunes done when I started the thread, as I said at the time I was transcribing it for my own use anyway. After that I went into 'Village Music Project Autopilot' and we can really get through some work when the mood takes us!

Going out with a big bang, here are the last three tunes. Huge thanks to Don Taylor, John Wild and Chuck Boody for thier help and support in this little project. Chuck will be creating a fully indexed PDF tune book in due course but he's a bit tied up at the moment, in the meantime individual PDF and mp3 files are here. X:20 T:Russe, La C:Edited and arr.

Hi Don, sorry about the mix up but I did alter the abc in the original post to 70bpm as soon I read your comment, could I trouble you to replace the sound file with the slower tempo version?

Don, I would urge you to use your discretion regarding tempi. Not all abc software is equal in this regard and I set the Q: value to something that sounds okay to me listening to it. If the music gives no indication of speed and I don't know the piece I just take a wild guess!

Roll your sleeves up for this one, things are getting serious! PDF and sound file will be found here in due course. X:7 T:Chorale St.Antoni T:Second Movement C:Hadyn C:Edited and arr.

I could do this for English system but not anglo (well not straight off I'd have to figure out the notes on a Wheatstone/Lachenal anglo first!) but no doubt someone will chip in and help before long. If it helps, in ABC 'C' is middle C (C3), the one below the staff in treble clef. 'c' is in third space up from the bottom. If you want help with using/understanding abc and related software just send me a PM.

Sorry to hear this, fingers crossed for a speedy recovery, my thoughts are with you.

Yes well, here's another short tune from Frank's little book. Another nightmare from every young musician's learning era . . . X:6 T:Red River Valley T:Canadian Song C:Edited and arr.

Short but sweet, another piece that's new to me! PDF will be in the Box folder in the next five minutes, sound file to follow. I'm pleased to say that Don Taylor is now creating the sound files which are far better than anything I could do now that my faithful old Roland Sound Canvas sound module has died.

Chuck, I've double checked bar 9 and it is as printed in the book. I've had to correct a couple of bars in one tune where the bar was overful in one voice (that'll teach them to use 32nd notes or demisemiquavers as we like to call them over here!) but I generally leave the pitch alone unless there's a glaringly obvious mistake. When I get chance I'll scan the section in question and email it to you.
