tunebook
Collection of melodies
A tunebook is a collection of musical tunes, typically traditional or folk melodies, compiled in a single volume.
The term appears most often in folk, Celtic, and early American music contexts: She learned the jig from an old Irish tunebook.
Tunebooks traditionally present melodies in simple notation, often without accompaniment, serving as reference collections for musicians.
