FYI, this notation is compatible with abcm2ps. I can't vouch for others. It may be necessary to strip some of the text, in particular, "%%staves {1 2}", "V:1", and "V:2 . . . G3 :|" if you can't get it to view correctly.

"Bath Carnival" ~ English Country Dance

In publication as early as 1777... As a 'longways dance for as many as will' ~ triple minor...

In Thompson's there is also an entirely different tune called Bath Carnival.
