Reformat and repost of Judy Hawkins Hayden Tutor.

[department of WackyIdeas]

Having recently purchased a Hayden Duet concertina from Concertine.it, I've been looking for some help and stumbled across the excellent series that Judy Hawkins posted a few years ago.  I took all of her posts, and turned them into a PDF with some minor editing reformatting.  I've contacted Judy who gives her blessing for my reposting it here.  She has plans to do her own edit and compilation of the tutor in the future.  l

Thanks for this, but a couple of things:

 

1)  Maybe you should shorten the filename of your .pdf file.

 

2)  When I plug the first .abc example in your file:

 

 

into EasyABC, I get the following score which is clearly not what was intended.

 

 

All of the notes in the bass clef are an octave too high, it should read:

 

 

which gives us:

 

I also changed the slurs in the original .abc into ties, assuming that was what Judy meant.

Don.

I’ll bet she also didn’t mean a 9-bar phrase. Rather than ties (or slurs) to a 9th bar, I would have put a fermata over the 8th bar and left it at that.

I found these useful - and fun - when I bought a Hayden. I still have a bookmark to them, so you can read the contemporary comments:

They're in reverse chronological order.

My apologies to the universe and especially to Judy for eff'ing up the title.  Here is an updated version with a proper title.  I'll leave the corrections of content to the author who plans to offer the series as an epub in the future.  .

I found adding "middle=d" worked with my tool to automagically tranpose the bass:
 

X:1
T:The First Leaves of Spring
M:3/4
L:1/4
K:G
V:1 clef=treble
V:2 clef=bass middle=d
[V:1] |: GAB | BAG | AGA | BAG | GAB | BAG | ABA | (G3 | G3) :|
[V:2] |: G3 | B3 | c3 | d3 | G3 | B3 | c3 | (B3 | B3) :|

Here's all the ABCs in the text brought into my tool:

Actually, that’s an octave lower than what’s no doubt intended (and lower than the range of many Haydens). The two voices should be an octave apart.

 

Try “middle=D” instead: https://tinyurl.com/4nzt2s2b

Oh, cool, I replaced the shortened URL above to a version with the change.

Yes, that’s just what I was suggesting in the other thread, I used it for the first time just above.
