I am undertaking the task of placing all 214 of his songs in MIDI form.
However the music scores are all as single notes and one clef. What i am
in need of is the bass line or other notes to augment the single line of
notes i have... if you have info on this or care to help.. please E-MAIL me.

Also, as i play by ear, i am not familiar with the word in the music
scores like Andantino, Grazioso (which refer to the speed that the music
should me played at, i know that much, but thats it.. should someone care
to send me a list of such words, in order from fastest to slowest, i will
remember you when this project is finished, and send you a free collection
of the MIDI files. I am also seeing the comment "tr" over some of the
notes. what does that mean? I am also seeing smaller notes in the score.
For instance in a measure of 2/2 time i see 8 1/8th notes, which make the
total time for this measure.. yet there are also 2 other smaller 1/8th
notes. I assume they are there as extra notes to be played...but not
counted in time.
