Subject: Mudcaters Tune book From: Pied Piper Date: 25 Jul 02 - 08:00 AM That is to say a collection of tunes written by Mudcaters. I've got a few I could contribute in abc format. Anyone up for it? All the best PP. |

Subject: RE: Mudcaters Tune book From: Sorcha Date: 25 Jul 02 - 09:53 AM It has sort of been done--see the Quick Links pull down menu? Check out Allan's Midi Pages. Lots of stuff by catters there. |

Subject: RE: Mudcaters Tune book From: Sorcha Date: 25 Jul 02 - 10:17 AM Forgot to mention--you are always welcome to post your stuff in the forum and send a MIDI to Alan to include in the songbook. |

Subject: RE: Mudcaters Tune book From: MMario Date: 25 Jul 02 - 10:18 AM or were you talking about a physical one that could be put together? |

Subject: RE: Mudcaters Tune book From: Pied Piper Date: 25 Jul 02 - 11:49 AM Thanks for the info folks. I was thinking more of a collection of original tunes rather than tunes and songs and no not a physical book. I think a collection of abc might have advantages in that people could post tunes which could without further processing be incorporated in a collection taking up minimal amounts of memory. I have a personal collection of 17000 odd abc tunes (lots of repetition) and it only takes up about 10Mb. That's about 0.6 Kb per tune. So a Mudcat collection of 1000 tunes would take up a mere 600Kb. A similar collection of Midi files would take up about 14 times the memory. All the best PP. |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters Tune book From: GUEST,greg stephens Date: 25 Jul 02 - 03:03 PM not being a computer person, this may be a very silly question.Some sites have tunes you can look at in ordinary musical notation.This doesnt seem to be the case round here.What's the reason.Storage space? |

Subject: RE: Mudcatters Tune book From: MMario Date: 25 Jul 02 - 03:16 PM Many of the sites which have visible music notation use either gif or pdf to store the notation. Yes - they are MUCH larger in file size then ABC or even the midi's used here for the Digital Tradition. (the "native" file format for the music in the Digital Tradition is Songwright - a system similar to ABC) For those tunes which are in the DT (Oct '99 version)we can point to YET ANOTHER DIGITAL TRADITION which does display the tunes as notation and also in other formats.

Subject: RE: Mudcatters Tune book From: MMario Date: 25 Jul 02 - 03:22 PM Just for example - the mirror site has the tunes from the DT available for download in ABC format, midi format and gif format (compressed files) ABC - 385 k bytes MIDI 445 k bytes gif - 48 MEGAbytes
