New computer, where are the free sheet music sites?

[FrDNicholas]

In getting a new computer and moving across the country to Georgia, I lost all the free sheet music sites I had previously. I know about Pete Martin's wonderful sites and, of course, Mandozine edit files. What other ones do folks know about? Thanks

Don't forget: http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk (http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/)
In particular, mandolin stuff: http://www.traditionalmusic.co.uk/american-mandolin-tab/american-mandolin-tab.html

Best thing is to do google search for tunes you're interested in as they come up - tunes you had in the past and want music for again, or any new tunes you want to learn. There are too many resources to name off, plus it depends on what tunes you want, plus there may be some tunes that have no sheet music available and you'll have to make your own.

Google is your friend.

Don't forget the TAB and TablEdit archives here at the cafe as well.

mark, thanks for traditional music mandolin info. I've used that site for lyrics but never explored it to find the mando music.

It's a great site, a little tough to find everything from the homepage, but I came across it a good while back while searching for mandolin TABs and found that they have a few tunes that are hard to find anywhere else.

The Session site has loads of mainly Irish tunes, in ABC format but also with standard notation. http:///thesession.org/

Nigel Gatherer had a great site, based here in Scotland, with lots of traditional music: http://http://www.nigelgatherer.com/

Another, funnily enough is if you do a search for 'ukulele songbook' - lots of happy songs to improvise with the mando.
Also 'jim carey ukulele songbook'.
Good luck.

The Library of Congress has a lot of music, too. https://www.loc.gov/notated-music/

Thank you for all your responses. I guess it would help to clarify what I'm looking for. I am interested in standard notation for bluegrass, old-time, rags, kind of like the variety of Mandozine tabledit. I'm not so interested in Irish, Scottish etc tunes. I had a wonderful site that had probably at least 100 or more titles of bluegrass and then on the bottom I could click Old-time and pull up anther 100+ tunes. For the life of me I can't remember the name of the site. Please keep listing ones you use and I'm sure it will turn up. Again, thanks for all your suggestions.
