Greetings to all,
It is a wee while since I last emailed you all with an update on the
progress so far with the website, so I thought now was a good time to
get in touch again.
I am very pleased to see that users continue to register with us,
showing that they have an interest in what we are doing, this is most
encouraging.
A very big welcome to everyone who has registered since I last sent
out a report, I have emailed some of you if you were on line when I
was working on the site, at this time I see those who are logged in.
Once again I will point out that the main advantage to us is that we
have your email address, this is, of course, kept strictly private,
and it enables us to keep in touch.
The main changes since the last letter are in the manuscript section
where you will see that we have now completed both volumes of the
Campbell Cantaireachd as well as Peter Reid's Manuscript and all 7
volumes of Glen's printed Piobaireachd.
The tunes in Glen's 7 books are addressed in a single index. Where
applicable, these works are all linked up in the Concordance.
The work being progressed at the moment is the Angus MacKay
Manuscript, we have about a third of the tunes inboard at the moment
and hope to have the rest completed within the next Month. Although
this work has not yet been made accessable, the tunes that we do have
inboard are, in fact, linked up in the Concordance, these are
annotated K1 and K2 and can be viewed in the first 3 sections of the
concordance.
Another new feature of the site is the sound clips section and this is
proving to be most interesting and is constantly used. We have many
more recordings and as time will permit we will include more of these.
In the background there is also constant maintenance work going on
which, though unseen, is improving the site.
There is another website committee meeting due in September when
further developments will be discussed and actioned, we will be sure
to keep you up to date with any further progress.
Once again, Thank you for registering and taking an interest in
Piobaireachd.co.uk
My best Regards to All,
John Dow
Webmaster
