I'm planning to make a books about local musicians that contain their tunes. Does that answer your question?

This really gives helpful focus to the thread. It seems like the most important question is "What kind of a transcription will be the most useful to the audience I have in mind?" And once you've decided that (and maybe you already have), the "how" part will fall into place in a way that supports that goal.
If you're planning on publishing the transcriptions for others' use, I think it would be a good idea to have a musician you trust read listen to the sources, read through your drafts, and provide feedback the same way you'd have someone read through a manuscript to offer suggestions.

Have you considered having experienced musicians help you with transcriptions?

Here's my own version of "Angeline the Baker" for comparison.

Doug: I noticed that you wanted to find out where the fiddler learned the tune. Good question. I first heard it at a local fiddle contest near Bloomington, IN, around '73 I think. Maybe the year before. I asked the young lady who played it to show it to me after the contest. She was a friend of Jenny's, and I am pretty sure that she learned it from you "High Woods" folks. Could be. I got "Hawks and Eagles" from you guys. And I use your words for "Old Jimmy Sutton" though as a comedy bit with a different melody.
