BB'S IRISH TRADITIONAL TUNE LIBRARY
"Music from Ireland" 
Dave Bulmer & Neil Sharpley 1974

========================================================

POLKAS & SLIDES

========================================================

There are two excellent reference files, one compiled by Nigel Gatherer and 
the other by Bob Taylor, covering the tunes that appear in the BSMI series. 
These files are in the BSMI parent folder: 

www.capeirish.com/ittl/tunefolders/13/bsmi-notes-ng.pdf
www.capeirish.com/ittl/tunefolders/13/bsmi-notes-rt.pdf

# Comments in the N: field are my own unless they appear in quotation marks.
# "Coda" and "final" are my suggestions for ending tunes whose endings might
not be obvious.
# For longer tunes where the use of bar numbers might be helpful, you can
type in %%barnumbers 0 (for ABC Tools; no 0 for EasyABC) below the K: field.
The numbers will appear in the display but will not print. Note that partial
measures (e.g. pickups) will be included in the count.
