Midi files have been created for the five music pieces on pages 663 to 671. Click the link "Listen" underneath each piece to listen to the midi files. In regards to the transcribing of the music, there are two notes:

For the music piece on page 665 (starting with "Mary and Marthy..."): In measure 8, the sixteenth note, dotted thirty-second note passage was notated as a dotted sixteenth note, thirty-second note instead. This matches the rhythm as previously notated in the song, and corrected the incorrect number of beats in the bar.

For the music piece on page 671 (starting "Gawd bless dem..."): In the fifth complete measure, the half note was changed to a dotted half note to ensure that there were a sufficient number of beats in the measure.
