Many tunes include sections known as \"slows\", where part of the melody is played with a noticeably different rhythm or tempo, while other sections may become faster or slower during different repetitions.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eThis collection uses additional musical terms and signs alongside conventional notation to help indicate these important variations. Used together with the separately available accompanying CD, the notation provides a valuable guide for musicians unfamiliar with the particular rhythmic and stylistic features of Cotswold morris music.\u003c\/p\u003e\t  \u003cp\u003eThe tunes are clearly presented in large-note notation and arranged in a straightforward but accurate form suitable for a wide range of melody instruments.
