Just a quick response to the first point Kurt is making: I found that the 
mention of the transcribing of all tunes into the key of G was readily seen. 
Certainly, by looking at each tune one very quickly should surmise SOMETHING 
is up. But if that didn't occur to the reader at first sight then the mention 
of the transcription was actually quite apparent to me. 

There are indeed many many errors which are also quite obvious and it would 
have been ever so nice if there weren't quite as many. No reason to have had 
to question so many places. I'm going to take a look at Kurt's list and add 
to it when I have time. Thanks for the great start, Kurt, as this takes more 
time to write down then to simply correct in a performance!
