Im wondering where you guys get your sheet music from, are there any particular online sites that are worthy. Not really interested in books, but print per song
Thanks!

That should keep you busy for awhile. :-)

Also, there's a ton of fiddle music in ABC notation on this site, which can be converted into sheet music.

http://www.ibiblio.org/fiddlers/FCfiles.html#B

For more about ABC notation:

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_ musical_notation

If that url doesn't come through correctly, try copy/paste with this:

en.wikipedia.org/wiki/ABC_(musical_notation)

I've also got some sheet music books and folios for sale in the classifieds.

And don't forget The Fiddler's Companion site! While it is abc, it has so much information about OT tunes that it belongs in any fiddler's "favorites" list.

Ah! I just noticed that bj's post includes the direct link to the Fiddler's Companion Alphabetical List page. Mine takes you to the site's homepage.

Hi, My website has links to many free and commercial music notation sites, and I've posted a fairly large collection of my own gathered from various places.

What kind of music are you interested in? That might help us point you in the right direction.

First of all any abc files you come across, can be converted to standard musical notation by pasting them into:
http://www.concertina.net/tunes_convert.html
For Irish music, a really good site is "The Session". You'll get better quailty pdf than the gif they show by pasting the abc into the site above:
http://www.thesession.org/index.php
The book "Hill Country Tunes" in pdf:
http://www.mne.psu.edu/lamancusa/tunes/hct/
Here's a site with many links; "Tune Collections on the Internet":

I guess I'm not computer geek enough. Whenever someone puts up a link for "free shee tmusic" or anything else "free" all I find are ads for "sheet music for sale"?? Can somebody help me with the "free sheet music" deal? Thanks, Eric

mkaroberts - Posted - 03/17/2009:  16:11:34

Eric, The www.ibiblio.org was one of the sites that was the easiest and had most song selection w/abc format, Concertina was little aggravating due to the "spacing" problem, so I pluged them to abc navigator, and Brian's page had some great tunes to check out!

As far as what kind of tunes "Im" looking for, anything goes!!
