Concertina Fingering

Anglo Concertina Fingering Generator

Updated February 10, 2019

Notes:

Only supports C/G Jeffies and Wheatstone layouts right now.

Fingering choices are still not optimal. For example, bellows usage is ignored. More work is needed here.

Instructions

Paste an ABC style tune into the box below, then hit "Generate Fingerings".

Then copy the resulting annotated ABC into your clipboard and use it on many of the fine PDF generator sites for ABC notation. My personal favorite is Draw The Dots.

For button notation, see the Button Notation Chart

ABC Input:

Annotate bellows directions ('P'=Push, 'D'=Draw)

ABC Output, with fingerings:
