These are notes on what I believe to be errors or inconsistencies in the original abc file for the William Clarke of Feltwell transcriptions by Mary Humphreys, Lyn Law, David Dolby, and Anahata. The master version is available for download at Mary's website - see http://www.maryhumphreys.co.uk/William_Clarke.php. I've made what I think are appropriate changes to produce a more playable version in a copy called WilliamClarke_tunes.abc (extra _ to distinguish it from original). An old man whould be wooing - 15 Last bar of A part is short - should be e3-e2 Scots Wha Hae - 22 Missing bar line in B part Pray Goody - 23 Unclosed grace note sequence at end - A2{B=c^c:|| possibly should be A2{B=c^c}:|| but grace notes at end are rather odd. Also, repeat at end has no corresponding opening, so possibly it is intended as 2nd time bar - something like: |:g2d2e2d2|(gB).B.B c2B2|(gd).d.d (gd).d.d|1(gd).c.B B2{c^ced}A2:|2 (gd).c.B B2=c^c|| Prime of Life - 24 Stray '}' at start of tune Dorsetshire march - 27 Stray '/' at start of bar.

Waterloo Dance - 67 Bar 15 too long |g2c'2b2"^*"agfe| changed to |g2c'b"^*"agfe| Waltz - 84 Rests at ends of parts should be z2 Scotch Reel - 88 Bar too long - |dBBB GAE E2| changed to |dBBB GAEE| Scotch Reel - 90 Bar too short - |d2gg (fg)| should probably be |d2gg (f2g2)| A Reel by John Ganstead - 103 Extra bar line in last bar. Lette - 109 Extra bar line removed in B part Hornpipe - 113 Triple semiquavers at start of parts should be quavers to fit bar lengths March in the Royal Guards - 116 !FINE! should be !fine!

Gentills Edited - 218B 2/4 not 4/4 The Bellisle March - 223 !tr! should be !trill! O: line has no number O: line has Wm rather than William (as do some other transcriptions).

Willam Clarke's of Feltwell's Dance - 275G Changed to "William Clarke of Feltwell's Dance" (correct Willam to William and remove aberant apostrophe - safe as title not original?) Quadrille - 276 3( should be (3 for triplet, plus unwanted closing ) Bar lengths are a mess in B part - not changed as need to compare with source. Misspellings of William as Willam in O: field in lines 36, 174 Misspellings of William Willaim in 147, 172 Also several Wm and W. in O: lines (not changed) There were many cases of unnecessary space after colon at start of field (T: or O:), removed. Many tunes were on one long line - I've broken them at repeats to avoid overfull music lines. Similarly, I've joined lines where notes were excessively spread out on music line. Various non-standard bar/repeat constructs - such as :||, sometimes with : at start of next line. I rationalised these to :| and |: for repeat, || for part end, |] for end, and :||: for combined end/start. There were also many :| at end of B part without a |: or :||: at start of B part - I've sorted many of these. Also there were a few opening repeats at the very end of tune (e.g. Old Towler, tune 194. I've added some explanatory header text to first page. That's all!
