%% Transcription notes:
%% The tune numbers below the clef and key signature are used in the file names to preserve the dance order.
%% Many abbreviations use small superscript letters with a dot underneath. The dots are ignored, and the letters typed as-is.
%% The original staff breaks are ignored, and the music is formatted to have 4 bars per line.
%% The lines are joined into staffs to look good at a small scale, but you may want to reformat the staffs.
%% The dance descriptions have are transcribed with the original line breaks, but this isn't significant.
