Take 6 Transcription Programme: Rationale, Outcomes and Methods

Rationale

The aim is to make the EFDSS’s online Take 6 archives more accessible and useable, for example for those with limited musical skills and/or who find it difficult to decipher a raw MS.


Outcomes

It is intended to support the Take 6 MSS with the following:

MIDI files of the melody line;

PDF files that display sheet music of the songs;


Methods

The filenames are the Take 6 MSS references with dashes substituted for the forward slashes (e.g. GB-6a-39 for GB/6a/39).

The Butterworth archive is the first to be transcribed. Currently transcription is limited to songs collected by Butterworth himself from the mouths of the people; it omits material that Butterworth copied into his notebooks from printed sources such as Barrett, Chappell and the Journal of the Folk Song Society.
