Various people mentioned problems using Adobe reader to access Ron’s
PDF (IPA) version of Auld Lang Syne. I used version 3.0 and had no
problems. As far as I know the whole Idea of PDF is so that the recipient
sees
what you want them to see and not what their computer allows.

Here a few comments of mine anent the IPA version of Auld Lang Syne.

Should /SId/ or /SVd/
mind /m at In/ to rhyme with syne
If you are transcribing 'surely' with /e:/ it would probably be better
to transcribe gude with the corresponding /I/ or use the conservative
/y/ for both.
stowp and gowans etc. I would use /aV/.
The /D@/
There's a few where I might uses a different stress (vowel sound) or
vowel length but at the end of the day it just depends on who's singing:
to /te:/
for /fVr/ or /f at r/
tak /tak/
o /o, e, @ I/
frae /fre:/ or /fe:/
