Failte!
1.) Welcome to The Sesh...
2.) As a newbie, please do the courtesy to read the FAQs, especially with regards to ones own inspirations, before you're tempted to get carried away:
"Can I submit my own compositions?
Well... The Session isn't really intended for that. If you do post one of your own compositions, then you must do your "penance", so to speak, by balancing each original composition with about five trad tunes." ~ our webmaster, Jeremy
Another option would be to follow the lead of other longterm members who put the ABCs for their own compositions, often with the tales behind them, in their 'Details', such as the honourable Rev ~

3.) Learn ABC notation before dumping tunes here ~ and the following will help, as well as just checking some of the many ABCs already here:

Failte to you too
thanks for the info, though i did read the FAQ's. i know a good battery of trad tunes, all of which seem to be on here already. how do you define 'traditional', anyway? what if this is considered traditional in five years? i discovered this site through trying to find sheet music for The Gale, by Susan Conger. its a pretty famous tune. but it's written by someone. i'm pretty sure its copyrighted. this tune is public domain, traditional style, and i dont care about credit. not intending to offend anyone, this is just food for thought. thanks for the tips on ABC. I'm not very good at it, though the first measure doen't need to be tied. the only notes that need to be tied are notes spanning the middle of a measure.

Don't worry....
It won't be considered traditional in 5 years time, nor will anything else composed this year.

Good tune anyway
Chris, the folk police doesn't want too see too many homegrown tunes here and you would understand this much better if you had been here for many years - some of the self-made stuff is just incredibe scrap.
But from time to time we get here a diamond which will be polished in the traditional way of playing and altering it. I think this was one has some potential to be a great session tune. It is written in the tradition of syncopating Shetland reels as the Willjafjord

Chrismus, abc format is only a pain because you're not used to using it. It would take me no more than five minutes to write this tune out in abcs. Sure it's not as versatile as, say, Sibelius but versatility isn't needed here. I use Sibelius for scoring stuff but still can't score as fast as I can with abcs.
"Traditional" generally refers to music that has been in the tradition (i.e., played/sung by ordinary folk) for several generations. I remember a good definition from the Copshie Festival (Newcastleton, to be posh): If you're not sure whether a song or tune is traditional then asuume it isn't.

"Traditional"
Several generation is equal to maybe 100 years. I guess a lot of the tunes here have been written in the 20th century and everybody thinks they are traditional.
It is traditional when many people play it in a traditional way and improve it evolutionnary by oral tradition.
