%% There are 114 distinct song tunes in this collection,
%% of which 71 are duplicated in both editions.
%% Some of the duplicates have significant differences;
%% others are only trivially different.
%% Many also have more than one set of lyrics, and are thus several "songs",
%% but I haven't counted these separately.
%% This directory contains all the songs in the 1806 and 1811 subdirectories.
%% The year has been added to the file names to make it clear which edition they're from.
%% I've tried to be as faithful to the book's notation as ABC and modern music software allow.
%% In some cases, repeat signs don't match modern practice, and have been "modernized".
%% In a few cases, it's not clear what was intended, and no modernizing was done.
%% This may puzzle some software (and musicians), as it puzzled me.
%% Sometimes dots and/or flags are wrong;
%% they have been fixed to agree with similar bars in the song,
%% and to make the measures the correct length.
%% Numbers have been added to verses, since some ABC software formats such lyrics
%% in a way that may not make the order of the verses obvious.
