The other thread about Italian folk tunes was very timely - as I was wanting to learn some of those
I thought I'd start with Speranze Perdute, but since I like to work from tab, and also like to have a Midi file to play along with when learning, I thought I'd convert Jim's scan (thanks Jim BTW!) to abc format to ease the learning process... I'm posting here in case it's helpful to others, and of course in case anyone spots any mistakes: I think I've got all the notation in there including chords and dynamics etc, the only I wasn't sure about were a couple of B notes that are notated as flat, even though they're already flat in the key (F). Whether this makes them double flat (play an A), or not I'm unsure, anyone else? In any case they're marked up the same as they are in the score.
Here's the abc:

I'm attaching a PDF rendition of the score for easy comparison to Jim's original as well... I would have liked to have attached the MIDI as well, but apparently that's not possible...
