"This is a database of tunes. Its main interest is with various traditional forms of northern and western European music, and their north American relatives - the jigs and reels, polka, polska, schottische, bourrée, etc - but it also has many things that don't fit that description; whatever comes along. The material is available as conventional musical notation and in machine-useable formats (PDF, midi, ABC). There are no recordings."
