%% 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.
%% Common terms like "1st", "2d" and "3d" are transcribed without the dots.
%% Uncommon abbreviations includ the ".", to set off the letter(s) printed as a superscript.
%% The original staff breaks are ignored, and the music is formatted to (mostly) have 4 or 8 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 are mostly transcribed with the original line breaks, but this isn't significant.
