- Irish traditional musicians playing in sessions
- Worth noticing
- Tunes and sets are saved in the current browser; ABC files can be imported, exported, and used to move them between devices.
Field notes
Personal tunes can be added from ABC files or pasted text, then exported as ABC or as a file for moving into SessionFriend on another device. Sets group tunes that may appear in more than one set, and the page says following tunes from those sets are listed when one is showing. A separate “Tunes I know” list records tunes the tool has heard the user play and says it prefers them when matching later notes.
