George,

Thanks for the package of files, but there's a problem or two or three in
your music for Auld Lang Syne.

Your introductory bar contains an eighth note; your bar eight contains three
quarter notes. These two should add up to the four beats found in each bar;
you're missing an eighth note. The error really shows up when you listen to
the midi file in: (a) the start of the repeat of the first part, (b) going
from the first part into the second part, and (c) the start of the repeat of
the second part.
Suggestion: make the introductory note in both first and second parts a
quarter note.

I'll argue with some of the F's and high A's in your version; I'd say
they're muxed ip!

And finally, a suggestion: a quarter note tied to an eighth note might
better be shown as a dotted quarter. Either is correct I suppose, but the
dotted quarter is easier to read (I think) and takes less room on the staff.
