I like your dad's project.  I've been listening to his music for about
45 minutes now and it's working for me, though I wish he kept to
tempo.

I especially like that he's an amateur writer distributing his
compositions for amateurs to play.  That's just cool.

Still, it seems like he's making life harder for himself with his
publishing setup.  Putting all the pieces in a zip file just increases
the friction to checking any one of them out.  And the TEF thing is a
bit of a drag because, 1, it is, and, 2, the sit file for their viewer
doesn't work on my machine.

OTOH I don't have any better ideas.  My best shot so far is to
hand-write the tab and take a photo of it with my cellcam.  Check out
this mongrel:
