BB's IRISH TRADITIONAL TUNE LIBRARY
"A Collection of Old Established Irish Slow & Quick Tunes" 
(Holden Smollett, Dublin 1805)

==========================================================
folder contents

==========================================================
To find a particular tune in this file, type command-F
(Mac) or control-F (PC) and enter the name or file ID in
the search box.

Copying and pasting this file into BarFly or EasyABC will
generate a list of the all tunes contained herein.
=========================================================
A list of tunes in ISQT that are omitted here can be found at
the end of the file. These are tunes that have appeared in 
other collections and whose presentation in ISQT is not (in my
opinion) different enough to warrant the work of creating
separate ABCs for them.

T:IRISH TROT, The
B:ISQT.01c (with "Trott")
C:ABC/arr. BB
N:A pleasant tune that appears in an abbreviated form in
the original. I have taken the liberty of "filling it out"
a bit!

T:MERRY DANCERS, The 
B:ISQT.02b
C:ABC/arr. BB
N:This tune sounds strange to me because of the way measure 
8 and 16 end on the V chord (= D in the key of G). In the
great majority of traditional tunes each 8-measure phrase
ends on the tonic ("key") chord or its relative minor, but
that's not the case here. I didn't have much success in trying 
to rearrange it so I've left it as it appears in the source,
with the addition of a second ending to part 2.
