Don’t add extra spaces or headers such as "T: Grant’s Reel" to you ABC - it messes up the sheetmusic!

Also - the A part is only 6 bars long? Trad tunes "commonly" have 4, 8, or 16-bar phrases, is there a particular reason why this might be different? I’m intrigued!

Your ABC is wrong, I’m afraid. You have six bars in the A part for a start. I’m not allowed to post what I think you should have written, but perhaps you could have another listen and see where you might have gone wrong?

The mysterious reel of Grant…

Dear seinnteoir, 6 tune submissions and only once bothered to leave a comment? :-/
And usually an ABC tidying up by Smash? :-P You might at least consider clicking the sheet button next time… just for fun…

Never mind, you don’t seem to read or react on the comments anyway.

This looks a bit like the Grant’s Reel from "Logan’s Collection of Highland Bagpipe Music " from the early 1900s. Attibuted to Roderick Campbell.
