%%begintext justify
%%This tunebook contains Christmas tunes and carols that I play on my English Concertina.
%%They should also be playable on fiddle, whistle, flute, dulcimer, etc. The predominant keys
%%used are G, D and C (and Em, Bm, and Am) to suit folk instruments and ease learning.
%%endtext
%%text
%%begintext justify
%%Most are traditional tunes from the British Isles, but others are imports from various sources.
%%All tunes are believed free of current copyright (unless noted explicitly), or else appear to have been
%%placed in the public domain as part of the ongoing live folk music tradition. Please let me know
%%if you are the owner of any that are under access restrictions and I'll remove them.
%%endtext
%%text
%%begintext justify
%%I have tried to choose the simple versions of most tunes, without much decoration and interpretation,
%%so add your own triplets, grace notes and variations. I have also included guitar chords, often
%%based on computer generated ones if not present at the tune's source. I'm not a guitarist, so these
%%will not necessarily be the best possibilities!
%%I've also included a small subset of words - just enough to go with the notes written,
%%usually one verse plus a chorus if any. This tunebook is for instrumentalists, not singers!
%%endtext
%%text
%%begintext justify
%%This tunebook has been prepared using the abcm2ps software, with help from abcmus, Melody Assistant,
%%and ABCexplorer. A big thank you goes to those creative and dedicated people who give their time to
%%create and maintain low-cost or free and open source software for abc music editing and output.

%%The current version of this tunebook, in ABC and in PDF forms, is downloadable from
