A COLECTION of the most Celebrated Irish Tunes proper for the Violin, German Flute or Hautboy PleaRarkeh na Rough set with different divisions Bass & Corus As performed at the Subscription Consort by Senior Loranzo Bocchi Dublin. Printed & Sold by Iohn & William Neal in Christ Church Yard

This is the oldest known tune collection printed in Ireland. It dates from 1724. The "Colection" has been transcribed to Sibelius format, and is online at http://www.pipers.ie/imco/CMCIT.HTM. This is a small project to convert it to ABC format, so the tunes will be available online to software as well as human readers.

The tunes are in individual files. The file's name starts with the page number and a letter, followed by the tune's name with underscores for spaces, plus the ".abc" suffix.

The book.* files are probably just temporary, to help debug the transcriptions. They will probably go away after it's all done.
