Production Notes

This book was produced entirely on a Macintosh using both hand transcriptions and .abc tune
sources from the Internet, mostly from Henrik Norbeck’s ABC archives. The .abc files were brought
in to BarFly 1.0d25, which generated the notation. The resulting graphics were then pasted into
Microsoft Word, then exported as PDF using Adobe Acrobat.
