My Tabledit files give suggested fingerings to make best use of the ringing open strings available in the open tunings given.
Starred tunes (eg 203*) may not be Carolan's - according to O'Sullivan.

Music notation -

These tunes follow the numbering convention given in the 'bible' for Carolan tunes:

and:

Lesley Nelson's Contemplator pages about Carolan's life and music. The Irish Pages Carolan Midi page - all of Carolan's tunes as midi files along with interesting notes about the songs and people. Ancient Anonymous Airs - a range of tunes and harpists pre-dating Carolan. Some of the tunes wrongly attributed to Carolan by O'Neill are correctly attributed here. Glenn Weiser's pages have extensive advice and links for Celtic guitar music Keith Hinchliffe sparked my interest in Carolan tunes and taught me several new open tunings.
