      <h1>The music of Cry Havoc, a reference.</h1>
      <p>Music forms a core part of Cry Havoc Botley Morris. Of course, the
        musicians provide the music we dance to. And after every practice or
        dance-out, there is a music-playing session.
      <p>Havoc musicians come in all shades of experience and ability.
        This collection is intended to help those like me who are inexpert with
        instrument and folk music generally.</p>
      <p>Being folk tunes, many of the tunes herein have many variations.
        The music presented here is my attempt at reflecting what is actually
        played at Havoc sessions. I'm in no way suggesting that they are
        in any way <em>correct</em>. This is just how we go about them.</p>
      <p>The tunes we play tend to vary over time. So this collection is
        not static, but will change over time. Lesser used tunes, or simply
        tunes that I like but are not in general Havoc currency, are in
        the Library collection.</p>
      <p>The majority of tunes here have no identifiable author, and
        are unquestionably in the public domain. Rather than litter the
        pages with <em>Trad.</em> or <em>Anon.</em>, I have left them
        unattributed. Some, however, have an identifiable author or
        arranger and copyright unquestionably remains with that person.
        I believe these tunes to enjoy widespread currency on the folk
        music scene, and therefore there is at least tacit approval by
        the authors for their dissemination. If this is not the case,
        please contact me at the address below and I will remove the
        offending tune.</p>

      <h1>But my instrument isn't suited for treble clef concert pitch!</h1>
      <p>Of course, not all instruments are suited to playing music written
        in concert pitch in the treble clef.</p>
      <p>To help those with such instruments get started, I've done some
        simple transpositions for requested instruments. These are
        <strong>not</strong> proper arrangements; I lack the time and the
        knowledge or ability to do that. Instead, they are automatically
        generated from the concert pitch originals using a typically very
        simple method.
      <p>I hope you find them useful.</p>

              to going above the top G on the stave. Able horn players
              can transpose in their heads anyway, so don't need this.</p>
