The "Random tune" feature could sometimes crash and not produce a tune. This is now corrected.
I've now corrected the display of chords for tunes, so that chords containing sharp or flat signs are displayed correctly.
Most of the tunes with chords are in the category "other tunes".
Now I've added 72 "other tunes", i.e. tunes which are not in the categories "Irish and related" or "Swedish and related".
From Brittany: 4 an dro, 7 ridées, 5 ronds
From France: 6 bourrées, 6 valse musette
From Romania: 5 horas
From Serbia: 4 kolos
From Bulgaria: 3 kopanitsas, 5 rachenitsa, 1 smeseno horo
From Peru and Bolivia: 17 wayñu
And 9 miscellaneous tunes

I've now posted a detailed description here of the approximate search algorithm used on this site. You can find it here: http://norbeck.nu/abc/FuzzySearch.asp
Now I've finally implemented approximate search (also called fuzzy search) in my ABC collection!! So even if you don't know exactly how a tune title is spelled, you can find the tune.

I've now redesigned the web pages for Henrik Norbeck's ABC Tunes, so that they work better on mobile phones.
I've now made clickable links to tunes referenced in the H: field of the tune, so it's easier to display them directly.
See for example this tune:

I've just updated the tune collection with some new tunes (most of them songs), some corrections, additional information and variations, and also a bunch of adjustments that will make it possible to add new features to the page. Look out for coming updates with new features!
And hope you all have a good Saint Patrick's Day tomorrow!
