Index of the Petrie Collection
This is a copy of the transcriptions at
www.leeds.ac.uk/music/research/petrie/abc/,
which were in a very nonstandard form of ABC,
and were thus inaccessible to most music software.
They were converted by a small program that corrected the problems,
and a few were further massaged by hand in a few cases.
One weirdness of the transcriptions was the preservation of an
unusual way of indicating repeats, in which only internal repeat
symbols were used, with no repeat symbols at the beginning or end
of a tune.
