NZ Folk Song * ABC files

abc is a computer-readable musical language, using only ASCII text symbols, that can be easily read by humans. You can download abc software from the abc home page.

The music score graphics and the midi sound files on this site were all made by writing abc notation with Barfly software. Dexter Muir wrote the abc's 1 to 32. I wrote the rest. (JA)

To play or modify these tunes, copy and paste this page onto a word processor document, then open that document in ABC2Win (Windows) or Barfly (Mac) or Melody Assistant (Win or Mac).
