Re: The Cameronian Rant

According to James Scott Skinner, it was composed by a Rory MacLeod, and has the alternative name of “Black Water”. Another title associated with this tune is “Buail na Bodich a’ Culodair” (Beat the Red Coats at Culloden). I feel it’s related to both versions of “The Cameronian Reel” (https://thesession.org/tunes/284 and https://thesession.org/tunes/17551).

Re: The Cameronian Rant

As we can see Evan’s version is written in 2/4 but has the time signature marked as 4/4.

You should do either one of these two things:

1) change the marked time signature to 2/4 to match the transcription. You do this by adding
[M:2/4]
at the beginning of the body of the tune.
or
2) leave the marked time signature 4/4 and double all the note values throughout the transcription.

Hit “play audio” on both settings; on setting X:1 the tune sounds normal because the marked time signature and the way the tune is transcribed match, while on setting X:2 the tune sounds like garbled noise, going twice the speed Evan probably intends.

That’s the thing I’ve found about “play audio”, it plays what you wrote, not what you intended to write!
