Hello all. Not sure where to put this post. So I think general is a safe bet. Long story short. I made a MuseScore 4 plugin that will append Wheatstone C/G concertina button's to a score. Its still a WIP and mostly made for myself. But if other's are interested. I can continue to expand, fix bugs, and maybe add more features. https://github.com/Bigmotech/BigMoAngloTab I started playing the concertina about 3 months ago and I've been learning from mostly Gary Coover's books using his tabs. I've been reading from "Anglo In the Harmonics" "Christmas Concertina" "Sailor Songs for Concertina" "Pirate songs" and "Easy Anglo 123". These books have been great for learning and slowly improving. While I'm not good by any means. My ear has been wondering to play other songs. That's when I found youtube channels like AngloKazooie and Concertina Joel. Listening to them play video game music and other popular songs made me want to learn the concertina more. But I found there's limited music for concertina out there and I'm not good enough at reading music and music theory to do it myself. After watching Anglo Kazooie's Arranging Songs for the Anglo Concertina videos I decided to give it a try. I couldn't use the version of MuseScore and had to use MuseScore 4. The plug in AngloKazooie uses doesn't work for MS4. So I decided to remake it myself. After making a basic version. I was able to produce recognizable music with little manipulation of the sheet itself. Some songs I've converted is Sonic's Green Hill Zone, Super Mario Bro's Theme, What is Love, and Zelda's Lost Woods. If anyone who is interested in trying it out and giving me some feedback. I would much appropriate it. Some known limitations and bugs Its a first run convert. So it will pick the first note that matches. So you'll get impossible to play combo notes that require a push and pull at the same time. The notes will stagger and stack if they are too close together. They can be manually moved. Transposing doesn't go to nearest notes. If transposing up/down doesn't have a note, it'll be left blank Produces ugly tabs that need to be fixed after the fact

Back in 2014 (I think) Gary Coover produced a one page survey of 30-button tablatures. It was still available as a PDF via a link from within concertina.net fairly recently, but I now can't find it. I should have bookmarked it!🙁 Can anyone help please? I ask because I just 'invented' a couple of new button naming schemes, and I want to check if I am a genius or merely a plagiarist...😊 Thanks
