Before book 13, we had to divide a Multipart song into several ABC file, and rename the file like this: IntothewestLute.ABC, IntothewestFlute.ABC etc. And the music folder was quite messy with a lot of files. A Multipart song could consist of 7 parts. That means 7 ABC files in your folder belonging to one song.
But with Book 13 you can now have all the Multipart ABC into one file only. And the file can be renamed Intothewest.ABC
But how can the different members pick the right part from that song?
The instruments can be defined with the index number. Is the first notation in the ABC- file. An ABC file always start with X:1
So let’s say I have a 4 part song. The first thing I do is to put all the ABC part into a txt file. Just right after eachother, no lines to separate the files (linebreaks is ok) Then I look at the indexnumers on the different parts. They all have indexnumber 1 (X:1) But this number must be unique for the different instruments. So before I start organizing the indexnumber I have a list of which instruments I would like to belong to a certain indexnumber.
The Shades have organized the indexnumber it this way:
X:1 = Lute
X:2 = Lute2
X:3 = Harp
X:4 = Theorbo
X:5 = Flute
X:6 = Horn
X:7 = Bagpipe
X:8 = Horn
X:9 = Moor Cowbell
X:10 = Drums
Here is an example on a song that is in one ABC file only. Look at the indexnumber of each part.

So how to play this?
Type /play <songname> # sync; in the chatwindow
Fluteplayer need to type like this: /play Intothewest 5 sync . Then the musicsystem know that he wants to play x:5 part of the song. That I have decides is the flute melody
If all the numbers are the same, you can keep consistancy between the songs and you won't have a HUGE list of files/songs when you do /playlist
