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

Transcriber's note:

This Collection contains many tunes that I think could be a lot of fun in the hands of a sympathetic player. (The link at the top of this page will provide more information on the compiler and the book.)

There are the usual chestnuts like "Harvest Home" and "Paddy O'Rafferty", some "Irish" tunes with which I was not familiar, a sampling of Scots tunes, and finally other tunes that were probably composed by Harding himself or some of his contemporaries. These tunes relate more closely to the stage than to the session but I thought they deserved preservation for possible future use by 
more traditionally-minded players, especially those willing to take a chance on some unfamiliar material.

Unfortunately there's no explanatory material anywhere in the book that might give some insight as to Harding's sources, so we're left to form our own opinions!

Further:
[1] This Collection contains many tunes in 2/4 time that - in the absence of a specific indication to the contrary - I have chosen to regard as "hornpipes" for the purposes of the ABC file %R:field, which controls how the accents are stressed. 

Many of Harding's 2/4 tunes employ the "Scots snap", and I have indicated these with the word "snap" in the L:field rather than adding to my workload with a series of dots and cuts. Apologies for this procedure but I think the meaning will be clear as you work through the tunes. 

There are also many tunes in the Collection that are in 2/4 time and are identified as "reels",  so it's entirely possible that some of the other unspecified tunes should be handled as reels and not hornpipes. Feel free to experiment with the %R:field to see which tune type sounds better.

[2] Harding uses descriptive terms like "straight jig", "buck dance", "eccentric dance," which may have made a lot of sense at the time the Collection was assembled but are meaningless in a contemporary Irish traditional context. I have done what I like to think is some "educated guessing" as to what the correct tempo and stress would be, but once again feel free to experiment.

[3] I did not transcribe all 200 tunes in the Collection for the simple reason that many had already appeared in other sources (per searches on TuneFinder). A list of the omitted tunes is at the end of this file.

[4] As per my usual practice, I have taken the liberty of inventing names for some of the otherwise nameless tunes in this collection, on the theory that even an invented name is better than no name at all. All invented names in this file are followed by an asterisk.

[5] %%text field entries in quotes are taken verbatim from the source. (The %%text  field is not part of the ABC standard but I'm putting it to work.)

[6] With the intention of enhancing the usefulness of the sound file, I have taken the liberty of doubling some tunes that appear as "single" in the source. I have made note of this change in the N: field.

[7] Harding makes frequent use of "DC", "DS", and "fine" to direct movement in a tune. Most often this involves returning to a play-through of the first part (usually without repeats) after completion of the second part, a common practice in years past but pretty much obsolete today.

I have used "A-B-A" to indicate this.

Generally the repeated A part is played once through to a "fine" of some sort, which might look a lot like a 2nd ending (but not always).

For all its strengths, ABC isn't built to handle these instructions, so a lot will be left to the user's own experience.  

Final note:
"Coda" represents my suggestion for adding an ending to 
(1) an otherwise circular tune
(2) a tune that ends on a note other than the tonic

The coda is optional and is not part of the original tune. It exists mainly for the printed notation and will in all likelihood not sound too helpful in the sound file. But I'm confident that a user will figure it out (after a little practice).

Q:1/4=150
M:4/4
N:N: 1: According to source, the B part of this tune should be played "8va" 
N:(= a octave higher).
N:N: 2: This is marked "reel" in the source but the triple quarter-notes in the 
N:final measures suggest a hornpipe. I have also added repeats which are not 
N:present in the source.
N:N: 3: I have no idea what this title is supposed to mean. I have a feeling that 
N:with a little research, this tune could be located elsewhere (e.g. O'Neill) since 
N:it sounds so much like a "standard" tune!
