TRANSCRIBER’S NOTEOriginal spelling and grammar have been generally retained, with some exceptions noted below. Original printed page numbers are shown like this: {52}. Footnotes have been relabeled 1–359, and moved from within paragraphs to the ends of chapters. The transcriber produced the cover image and hereby assigns it to the public domain. Original page images are available from archive.org—search for "odcollectrobinho00ritsrich".This ebook transcription includes five midi format audio files, which permit listening to a representation of the music printed in the original book. A midi file is not a recording of audio. It is instead a set of instructions that are interpreted by your own software, so that what you hear may be different from what the transcriber heard. Sadly, many e-reading devices that use the epub or mobi e-book format don't support links to external files, which means that readers using such devices won't be able to conveniently hear or download the mobi files. In that case, the html edition of the ebook must be consulted. Also, some html browsers don't automatically play MIDI files when the link is clicked. The user may have to adjust some browser settings, or install a plugin, or if the click downloads the file, then just go find the downloaded file and open it.Pageix, List of Embellishments. The page reference for KIRKLEY HALL is changed from “xlv” to “xiv”.Pagexxi. The Pedigree of Robin Hood in the printed book was a complicated chart, retained as an image in this edition. To aid the reader, a transcription of the chart has been provided, based on the geneological numbering system of Robert B. Henry—see for example wikipedia.org, search for “genealogical numbering systems Henry”. I apologize for any errors you might find in this transcription. The Henry system starts with a progenitor, numbered 1, his/her children, numbered 11, 12, etc, followed by grandchildren 111, 112, etc. The system ordinarily depends on knowing the order of birth of children to parents, but that is not provided in our book, so our Henry numbers are, in that respect, arbitrary, showing only parentage. Also, the abbreviation m. is used in this transcription, ordinarily meaning “married”, but in this case indicating only parentage.1Richard Fitzgilbert de Clare, earl of Brien; m.

The three music snippets on these pages are meant to be sung as a single three-part chorus, and have been so rendered in the midi file. Note that transcribing early music notation into modern notation is not an exact science; in 1609, when this piece was published, music notation was still considered more of a guide than a mandate. Therefore, adjustments were made so that the sound file makes musical sense.Page357midi file.
