%% Transcription notes:
%% The tunes are are unnumbered; their count (01-24)

%% 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.
%% Feel free to reformat the staffs for your own use.
%% Dances are transcribed with the original line breaks, which isn't significant.
