The sheet music on this site has been created using "Myriad Music" software and this myr format of each tune can also be downloaded. This is a great, free or inexpensive music editing software. If you install (Windows or Mac) "Melody Assistant" (shareware) or "Harmony Assistant" (paid) you will not only be able to edit the sheet music but you can also have the software play the sheet music to you, even selecting which musical instrument it will use. You can also select a portion of the tune to play, in order to e.g. focus on a difficult bit. With this software you can change the tempo of the playback, even add in a metronome. Really useful in learning a tune. Download the shareware "Melody Assistant" app from: http://www.myriad-online.com/en/products/melody.htm
