Most of these tunes were transcribed to ABC in 2009,
when several of the Boston-area RSCDS leaders ran a set
of workshops to teach the dances in the booklet.
This directory contains only the primary tunes for the dances.
Tune sets for the dances may be found elsewhere,
but musicians are encouraged to make their own medleys.
