README for the Stuart Highlanders Collection bagpipe.tex tunes directory.

This directory contains music for the Scottish Highland Bagpipe in
bagpipe.tex format. Bagpipe.tex is a macro-package which extends
MusicTeX to make typesetting bagpipe music quicker. MusicTeX is
a macro-package for typesetting music. TeX is a technical typesetting
language. Both bagpipe.tex and MusicTeX are available elsewhere on this
archive. 

Although, to the best of the contributors' knowledge, the tunes in this
directory are in the public domain, the responsibility for copyright
violations resulting from using these files lies with the downloader.

The tunes in this directory are from "The Stuart Highlanders
Pipe Band -- Collection of Pipe Music". The files muscont.tex and musindex.tex
contain the table of contents and index for this collection. These two
files specify the LATEX format. In any case the files are legible
as is. Some of the tunes in the table of contents are not in this directory
because their copyright status is suspect. Files whose names begin with
a lower case h are header files which put two or more tunes on one (usually)
or two pages. The file list.txt is an index that tells you the file name
given the tune name. 

All of the files are now supposed to specify the bagpipe format with
a comment in the first line of the file:

%&bagpipe
\input bagpipe 
.

If your system recognizes this but you havn't generated such a format,
remove this line. If you have a format but not the bagpipe.tex file 
itself, either delete the second line or create a file named
bagpipe.tex that contains only

\bye
.
