MIT Folk Dance Club Songbook MIT folk Dance Club Songbook. This is a preliminary draft of the MIT folk Dance Club Songbook. Although it still isn t quite finished http://www.cs.brandeis.edu/~ira/sb/mitfdcsb.html
Extractions: MIT Folk Dance Club Songbook This is a preliminary draft of the MIT Folk Dance Club Songbook. Although it still isn't quite finished, I decided that I might as well make the current version available now. The songbook is written in TeX, but it is contained in many files, so I'm making available here only a postscript file, which should be printable from any postscript printer. The songbook is 123 pages long, and the postscript file is 536K bytes. If you don't have a direct internet connection, you can save time by downloading the gzipped postscript file which is only 167K bytes (but you will need to decompress it). The index (3 pages) is in a separate file. I suggest that you try printing it first, so that in case there is a printing problem you'll find out without wasting too much paper. (As it turns out the page numbers in the index are wrong, so it's not really useful as an index, but it does have a list of all the songs. I will try to fix it when I have time.) There is a also a problem with spacing since I set all the line breaks with a slightly different sized font. However, the text should still be legible. Please tell me if you have any other problems with these files, though I can't guarantee I can help you.
