%% Transcription notes:
%% Each tune is in a file with a name of the form PP_Title-K-B-S.abc,
%% where PP is the 2-digit page number, Title is the tune's title with underscores
%% for spaces, K is the key, B is the number of bars in one playing of the tune,
%% and S is the number of staffs in the transcription.
%%endtext
%%begintext align
%% The staffs have sometimes been reformatted to fit A4/US-letter pages, usually with
%% a multiple of 4 bars per staff to go with a relatively small scale for proofreading.
%% You should reformat the staffs to match your needs.

%% A few tunes use voice overlays (2 voices on one staff) that much ABC software can't handle.
%% Two versions of these are provided: a PP-Title-K-B-S-V1.abc file that's arranged to work with
%% such software, and a PP=Title-K-B-S-V2.abc file that contains the voice overlays.
%% This is also used for the cases of "chord" appogiaturas and some other features
%% that aren't widely implemented yet.
%% The '-' vs '=' after the page number is to make it easier for makefiles to tell them apart.
