%% Transcription notes:
%% In late 2014, I asked on a couple of forums whether anyone had ABC transcriptions
%% of this book's tunes or plain-text transcriptions of the dance descriptions.
%% Within a few days, I received versions of most of the tunes and a few of the dances.
%% I compared them with a copy of the book that a local dance leader loaned me,
%% and made most of them a bit closer to the actual content of the book.
%% This directory contains the resulting files.
%%
%% Serious English Country Dancers will want a copy of the book, which you
%% can order from cdss.org.  Most musicians will probably find the ABC tunes
%% a bit more usable, since they can be easily reformatted, but you might
%% also consider getting a copy of the book, to support the CDSS's work.
