TextEdit), please scroll down past the file header and the horizontal line to the
first “tune”. It’s labeled “X:1: and then “T:How to Use This Document”. It should
tell you what you need to know to use this document productively without getting
too confused.

% Note: If you take the abc code for one tune and omit this Header, many things will look

T:How to Use The abc Documents
K: <none>
 
%%begintext
 
These tunes are written out in abc notation. This is a way of writing out music as plain text. It can
be converted into standard musical notation, and can be played back as well by abc software which is
generally free.
 
Here are a few useful things to know about this abc file.
 
1. Right before this introduction is the file header, a set of commands that set up which font is used
for which part of the tune, margins, spacing of tune elements, etc. It might look rather scary, but
you can largely ignore it.
 
2. Important: if you copy one or a couple tunes to a new document, you should copy the file header
too. If you don’t it will still work but will look different on screen or printed out.
 
3. After the file header are the tunes. Each tune contains a tune header, which tells the software
the title, meter, key, etc. That is followed by the tune body, which contains the code for the music
itself.
 
4. To use an abc document, just open it in abc software, or paste the contents of the file into a
web-based abc reader (see below), and the software will do the rest. If you change the file extension
from txt to abc, you can double-click to open it in the abc software. Your computer may give you
scary messages about changing the extension. Just ignore them; in this case it’s completely safe.
 
Here are a few links you may find useful.
 
The abc Notation Home Page <http://abcnotation.com>. Lots of information and links to free abc
software.
 
EasyABC. Widely used abc software, available for Mac, Windows, Linux. Go to
<http://www.nilsliberg.se/ksp/easyabc/> for lots of information about it from the person who
originally wrote it. Go to <https://sourceforge.net/projects/easyabc/> for the latest version.
 
abcConverter. <http://www.mandolintab.net/abcconverter.php> A web site that lets you paste in abc
code and converts it to sheet music or to a playable midi file. Use this if you don’t want to bother
with abc software.
 
JC’s ABC Tune Finder. <http://trillian.mit.edu/~jc/cgi/abc/tunefind>. John Chambers’ tune finder lets
you search for abc tunes; it includes nearly all abc tunes on the internet. If the link doesn’t work,
try <http://rudy-rucker.mit.edu/~jc/cgi/abc/tunefind>.

S:As played by Simon St. Pierre and the Kennebec Valley Boys. The Woods of Maine, Revonah RS 920, 1975. 
Z:Melody, chords and lots of careful editing by Emeline Dehn-Reynolds and Peter Yarensky.
N:The last measure is three full beats because of the three note pickup at the top of the tune.
N:This tune could have been written in 4/4 time with double-length measures. It is noted here in 2/4 
N:because dancers and dance musicians expect each measure to be one polka step and two measures to be 
N:the length of a balance.

N:This is basically Paddy on the Turnpike, except the last beat of each part is dropped.
N:Simon accompanied himself with his feet; there is no chord accompaniment on the record.
N:"They call it "Antiquite No. 2"... Oh, they start, oh, early in the 1800s, you know...
N:People up in Canada, they was real poor. And they did no have no guitar that time,
N:so... No piano, no money to buy piano neither. And they was crazy about that
N:fiddle music! You know everybody was play the fiddle. So, they play the fiddle
N:and they find out the ways, you know, to chord with that. So they use the feet.
N:It's the only thing they have for square dance, you know." -Simon St. Pierre, 1973

N:You'd do better to listen to the recording than try to play this from the page! Take a look

N:like measure 4, the pitch with the arrow is significantly higher than the "same" pitch in beat 1.

D:As played by Simon St. Pierre and the Kennebec Valley Boys. Fiddler From Maine, Revonah RS 926, 1977.
N:This tune is often attributed to Bill Monroe or Kenny Baker, but there are recordings predating both of 
N:them so it’s best considered traditional.
N:End with one A part (8 measures), using the second ending.
Z:Melody, chords and lots of careful editing by Emeline Dehn-Reynolds and Peter Yarensky.

N:The notes in parentheses are ghost notes: notes that are really there, but barely 
N:audible, generally played with minimal bow movement and light bow pressure.
N:Some of you may remember this tune as Century Reel on Greg Boardman's 
N:1990s recording of the same name (Simon probably misremembered the name
