There's plenty to be gained from the later ones as well. The last one on the list - Ceol Brendan Breathnach - has some fine tunes. I saw that he has a tune called 'Lomanach Cross' which was recorded by Denis Murphy under the title 'The Road to Town' and recently recorded by Carberry and McGovern on their CD Forgotten Gems. A lovely simple tune which would suit the flute well.
IMCO originally depended on the Sibelius plug-in for its notations. When the support for that ended (in my browsert anyway) I more or less dropped out of using it. Terry Moylan put a lot of time and effort into setting it up.
Just had a quick look at the Ceol collection after seeing your post (my own collection of Ceol issues is gapped to say the least: I picked up a lot of early copies Breandán was selling off for 40p and later got some o9ld stock off NPU as well). Lomanach Cross is one of thiose tunes a lot of people would play as a reel but it always leaves a sense of having started out as a fling. Came across a nice version of Miss Langfort (from Sonny Brogan) as well, I learned a version from Bobby Casey and Joe Ryan once but liked this take. Will have to spend some time on that part of it.
I like Miss Langfort. Was only listening to it yesterday. Liam O'Brien calls it "Joe Dowds" on his CD.
I had a piles of photocopies of photocopies from Ceol issues. Almost illegible. I will have to give this a bit more attention.
