N: This alleviated the full or partial clipping and poor quality of some of the titles.

N: The notation in this book is sometimes a bit unusual, and difficult to interpret or reproduce
N: with ABC or any other computerized music notation.  At times, the notation has been translated
N: to a reasonable interpretation that should be accepted by any ABC software.  A particular case
N: is the use of :||: throughout for all repeate, including at the end of a tune, but no initial
N: repeat indicator; these have been rewritten as |: ... :| at the start and end of each part, to
N: match the modern preferred notation.
