BIDA tunes
This directory contains ABC transcriptions of tunes proposed for the
"open band" repertoire for the Boston-area
BIDA dances, and
augmented since then from various discussions and tunes played at
open-band nights.
The single-tune files have names that start with "J_", "R_" or "W_",
for jigs, reels and waltzes. The Jigs.*, Reels.* and Waltzes.* files
contain all the tunes of each rhythm in a single file. The BIDA.*
file(s) contain the entire collection.

directories full of .abc tune files:

These are "works in progress" that I've included here to get ideas for
making them more useful.
