The Wednesday Slow Session

[alistair]

Thanks for efforts to disentangle the intended tune, Eric & Jack.
The key was (is) D major, though the D minor effect is interesting, Eric. I tend to think only in major, though: I guess it comes from the first and for a long time only instrument I could play being the moothie.
I did kind of notice that a smiley had appeared instead of the D in the key line of the ABC when I pasted it, but should have followed up on that. Very strange ...
The provenance of the generating software (Melody Assistant) is embedded as a comment at the start of the exported ABC.
I think the JPG of the score, which was embedded at the end of the original posting, was OK, though. Am attaching a MIDI file as well, and here is the ABC again:

Blast, it's happened again: the K: D line has got changed to KBig Grin!
Must be an artefact of the underlying forum system. Maybe the K: is taken for an HTML tag?
Anyway, it's not too hard to work round, now the cause is clear.
