Quibbles: Although there are a number of variations of this tune The half note in measure 4 should be a D rather than a B.  Also from the source I have the B in measure 2 should be a half note and there should not be a D. However an internet search also shows a couple of variations: http://www.tradfrance.com/mgtfc13.htm http://abcnotation.com/tunePage?a=trillian.mit.edu/~jc/music/abc/France/waltz/ValseACinqTemps_G/0000 The French word for five is ‘cinq’ (without the ‘ue’     From: Newcastle Waites Sent: Wednesday, September 28, 2011 7:46 PM To: brunokev@hotmail.com Subject: [waites.brunoband.com] Valse a Cinque Temps

Kev, thanks for the feedback!

I've corrected the title in the post, but it's up to Malaika to fix the notation issues. It's unfortunate that the notation program she has only seems to export jpeg files, since it makes it difficult to collaboratively edit these tunes.

Anybody know of good, free, online notation software?

Jay,
I'm not necessarily saying the score needs to be changed; just pointing out differences. I probably play that tune at least two different ways, neither of which is exactly like either of the scores. In a sense the notation is a starting point and in playing there are variations that happen. I mention the differences, because in playing with other groups of musicians, those difference may arise.
I'm probably likely to at add annotations and post links to variations that are online for some of these, but that doesn't mean I'm saying any one version is 'wrong' or 'right'. As for free notation software I just found musescore (www.musescore.org) and am checking it out.

I think it's great to have multiple versions of the tunes. I would only ask that you append the new scores to the existing post using the "edit" feature, or put links in the comments, rather than creating a new post (just to keep it all together, and easy to find).

No problem, but I can't find the "edit" feature, and the comments feild doesn't allow dropping a file into it.

You may not have had the ability before, but I've changed both you and Malaika from "committers" to "administrators". If you hover your mouse over the title of the post, links should appear that say "Edit Delete Tags Autopost". Hope that works!
