Field notes
The archive offers several routes through the same 200 notes: a chronological song list, album groupings, a five-part series, and recording-session chronology credited to Tuomas Eerola. Its index can sort by key, meter, year, album, or recording date, while keyboard shortcuts move through the series. Reading controls adjust typeface, spacing, width, and theme; chord charts offer playable redrawn versions as well as an “As typed” rendering.
