Anyone recognise this reel from the ABC posted below? These are the first two(quite distinctive) bars. It's in D Major I think.
DF EF D2 d|cA AG EF GE|
I'll post the rest of it if I can get a title and it ain't already here masquerading under a different key. I've tried searching for it,by the way.
Good on yer Rev! Title I was handed is Bird in the Bush!-given without real conviction though. The search facility obviously has its limitations-I'd have thought it would have found Scartaglen Rd from the ABC I put in.
Yeah, the ABC search built into thesession is pretty much a straight text search, so it needs to be the same as it would be in the archive. So you should take the spaces out.
So your first search should have been "DFEF D2d|cAAG EFGE|". You still wouldn't have found it from that, because it has a few different notes.
Then you can switch to using Google to search this site. The easy way to do that is to go to the Search tab on the Home page of this site, which uses Google to search this site. When you search for that ABC using Google, 3 tunes appear (because it isn't looking for it as a phrase). The Scartaglen is the first one in the list.
The nice thing about using Google to search this site, is that it finds ABC posted in the Comments section of the tunes as well, so you have a better chance of finding things, because people often post alternate settings of the tunes in the Comments.
Mystery Tune!

Re: Mystery Tune!
What key is it in? Are the Fs meant to be sharp or natural, etc?
