%% Transcription notes:
%% The dances are numbered; their count (01-12)
%% is used in the file name to preserve the publication order.
%% Some abbreviations use small superscript letters with a dot underneath.
%% The dots are mostly ignored, and the letters typed as-is.
%% Some abbreviations end with ":", which is transcribed.
%% The music is all a 2-staff "piano" arrangements, with a very simple bass.
%% Original staff breaks are ignored; the ABC is formatted to have 2 or 4 bars per line,
%% which are joined into staffs to look good at a small scale.
%% Dances are all a single line, sometimes split here to avoid long lines.
