%% Transcription notes:
%% The tunes are are unnumbered; their count (01-24)
%% is used in the file name to preserve the publication order.
%% Some abbreviations use small superscript letters with a dot underneath.
%% The dots are mostly ignored, and the letters typed as-is.
%% Some abbreviations end with ":", which is transcribed.
%% Original staff breaks are ignored; the ABC is formatted to have 2 or 4 bars per line,
%% which are joined into staffs to look good at a small scale.
%% The only common end-of-phrase mark used in the dance descriptions is the one transcribed
%% as "|:" (a horizontal line with two dots under, rotated left to make it typeable).
%% It and sometimes others are used irregularly, and can't be relied on to match the music.
