Oh, that's lovely! I brought it into my ABC tool and set it to play with my concertina sounds. https://michaeleskin.com/abctools/abctools.html?lzw=BoLgjAUAKiDKD2AbAzgFwJYGMCmACAwgIYBOSE+IAsoaqgBbYDuuAEtgK4C2hAdjxAFIByTPGJ4A2rjC4APrgBMc3AGZcAXQgAZcAHoALBACKe-QF4wABksRKIAGwGIAaRD5BAygEkAIl9wADqQA5sSEnNIqKhAAauC4qOIARojYsSBKidgpaXFqWTnpkLgAgsoAJkp4AGZKhMrBStW42E262LoVSpilKrpKAOKdJbqYnbIQuJUtuLWlXTNz9fKNsy1tHQs9JX2Dw6Pjk+UqALRTbcHj6hJ2u+q4hEoA+kkPSpfV47ireJhK5e0vnNgm8pnJJphdlNOmMAELDJRleTTGp1BpNdazQFbXr9XBDUoHCqnc5yTRxBSTHzKEqI0nlZR-XA9Jk9eS0+YAMSUnN0I3BpTpHOp7Lp0wZ8lZzO6NLp3NwvP5E16Zw5AM2smut3693F9MZMoGdOR-1JSMmHJGPk6PiUIsF8z1kplUtFXJ5fK+O1VSk16WiD2UwNBy2ZAHI0atCLoXl9HoGlgLMBHcC8Q0H3unJSn6lGY0k42jCFDY-po-pvgLi2d481NTcQHdZhjk90w4yU8nMZ9Lsp42n4yDlcH46G5s1W+GO5G6vnC4Hi3jS+XK-Jq6C-UA&format=noten&ssp=10&name=SolsticeCarol&play=1

Here are the various ways you can show note names along with standard notation in the tool both in standard ABC and "Blackboard ABC" (which I call Comhaltas-style ABC) format:

This morning I've added new options on the "Inject Shape Note / Solfège / Note Names" dialog in version 2174_121024_1100 that will inject either standard ABC note names or Comhaltas ABC note names under the notation. This is quite a bit prettier than the realtime "Note Names" tablature, and like all the other tablature injectors, is intended to be used on finalized ABC as it's done using annotations added to each note in the ABC itself. Best to save off a version of your ABC before the injection, either in an ABC file or via clicking "Snapshot", but you can always use the "Strip Injected Tab" option on the "More Tools" panel to remove previously injected tab.

I'll be doing a Zoom webinar on how I created these sorts of websites with the master scores, individual parts, and "Music Minus One" versions this coming Friday, December 13th at 7:00 AM Pacific time: Michael Eskin's Zoom Meeting Link: https://michaeleskin.com/zoom Older style Zoom links: https://us04web.zoom.us/j/6193681854?pwd=eXd3L2ZEeWNnMDBZYVI0RkJ2c3Vudz09 Meeting ID: 6193681854 Password: session

Terpsichore - La Bourrée No. 32 (Michael Praetorius) Arranged for Concertina Quartet Master Score, individual Parts (using the "Split Parts" feature), and "Music Minus One" practice versions for each instrument. Interactive website: https://michaeleskin.com/tunebook_websites/michael_praetorius_la_bourree_concertina_9dec2024.html You can select the "Music Minus One" versions to play along. If you close the Player, you can click the "PDF" button at the lower left to export PDFs of any of the parts Screen capture from the full-screen playback view on the Quick Editor running on my iPad in landscape orientation: Instruments used are: %%MIDI program 133 - Concertina Try my free ABC Transcription Tools https://michaeleskin.com/abc User Guide https://michaeleskin.com/userguide

I've added a new "Split Voices" command to the "Hamburger" dropdown menu. This can be used to create individual parts to go along with a master score. This feature only works if there is a single multi-voice tune in the editor. The split voices are appended as new tunes. You can then easily generate a PDF with "One tune per page" as the selected output format and you'll get a full score and individual parts. You can also export the master score and individual parts as a website. This feature is in version 2158_120324_0900 or later. Example master score and split parts for "Konzert für Violine Streicher und Basso Nr.2 BWV1042" by J.S. Bach arranged for recorder quintet. Also includes "Music Minus One" full versions for each instrument: https://michaeleskin.com/tunebook_websites/js_bach_bwv1042_parts_3dec2024.html

I've added dedicated Player view width zoom buttons to the Player. (Desktop browsers only) They are at the left and right of the original Player buttons. The Player width is also used by the Tune Trainer as well as the various feature Explorers in the tool. You can also set the Player width percentage manually from the Player "Settings" dialog as well as the main tool "Settings" dialog. All do the same thing. I've also removed the previous concept of the adaptive "Wide View" option that would show up if the conditions were right as it really doesn't make sense now that you have the ability to control the Player width. This is available in version 2157_120224_1300 or later. Details at: https://michaeleskin.com/abctools/userguide.html#playing_your_tunes

I've added a new "Export All Tunes as ABC" option to the "Export All Tunes" dialog. This will split the current ABC tunebook into individual .abc files with the same name as the tune. This feature is only available (as is the case for all the Export All features) on desktop browsers. This feature is available in version 2153_120124_1900 of the tool or later.

You can now set the Player size as a percentage of the browser window screen size in two places: Main tool "Settings" dialog - Available from the "Hamburger" menu dropdown Player "Settings" dialog - Button on the Player The size selected is used both for the Player and the various Explorers in the tool. The size set will also be used for playback of any tunes opened from an interactive PDF file or tunebook website. This feature is in version 2151_120124_1600 or later.

Playing around with a collection of 80 or so 4-part hymns from the Open Hymnal 2014 project: https://michaeleskin.com/tunebook_websites/open_hymnal_concertina_27nov2024.html Other versions for Pipe Organ and with Solfège Sung Note Names at: https://michaeleskin.com/tunebooks.html#tunebook_websites

Here is the complete first movement of the Mozart flute Concerto No. 2 in D major (K.314) for flute and orchestra in ABC format played by my ABC Transcription Tools running in Safari on my iPad. Screen and sound capture direct from the iPad. No post-processing of the video or audio. Video (8:34 in length)

Pro tip: If you want to create a demo video like the one below, where the notation plays full screen instead of inside the Player, use the Quick Editor instead: https://michaeleskin.com/abctools/abctools-quick-editor.html Load your tune into the editor, click the zoom arrows at the upper right corner to go into full screen view. Start your screen recording. Click the Play button at the lower right corner. The tune will play and the notation will auto-scroll during playback. When the tune is done playing, stop your screen capture. For this video, I used the two-column display option for iPad (turn this option on in the Settings dialog): "Concerto for Oboe in D Minor" by A. Marcello

Live website version running in the tool of that last recorder demo: Konzert fur Violino, Streicher und Basso Nr.2 E-Dur BWV1042 (Excerpt) https://michaeleskin.com/tunebook_websites/js_bach_bwv1042_24nov2024.html

I’ve added four new sampled Baroque Recorder instruments to my free web-based ABC Transcription Tools: Soprano: %%MIDI program 144 Alto: %%MIDI program 145 Tenor: %%MIDI program 146 Bass: %%MIDI program 147 The instruments will automatically “fold” notes below the range of the instrument, down to the G below the instrument range, up one octave. You can hear this in the video on a few notes where the Alto goes below F. Here’s “Bouree from Suite in E minor” BWV 996 by J. S. Bach arranged for Alto and Tenor recorder: Here’s the start of the “Brandenburg Concerto #4” by J. S. Bach, arranged for two Alto recorders and chamber orchestra: And finally, a full consort (two Alto, two Tenor, Bass): Update to the latest version of the tool to pick up the new Baroque Recorder features. These features are in version 2121 or later. Check the lower left corner of the “Advanced Settings” dialog for the version number. The first four digits are the version number. Information on updating the tool is in the User Guide: https://michaeleskin.com/abctools/userguide.html#updatingthetool Try my free ABC Transcription Tools https://michaeleskin.com/abc User Guide https://michaeleskin.com/userguide

Added "Note Names" as one of the options in the tablature dropdown when enabled for exported tunebook websites. Also updated all the sample tunebook websites with the new option at: https://michaeleskin.com/tunebooks.html#tunebook_websites
