The ABC is apparently in the wrong timing. All single notes should be followed by "2" and all slashes (/) should be deleted.

So the first bar, for example, should now read |A2cA BcdB|

Lovely tune. Where did you find it?

The bungalow
This is a Scottish tune by J. Scott Skinner
Sorry about the confusion in the ABC. The tune is a Scottish reel in 2/4, 16 bars with a pick-up measure; the notes are meant to be mostly 1/16th notes. Many Scottish reels are noted this way to emphasize the high tempo. The site converts it to 4/4 and into 1/8th notes, assuming that all reels are noted thus. It is indeed a Skinner tune. I found it in a great book called the _Scottish Fiddlers’ Session Tunebook_ readily available on Amazon http://www.amazon.com/exec/obidos/tg/detail/-/1871931479/qid=1078838451//ref=sr_8_xs_ap_i3_xgl14/002-9900360-4520048?v=glance&s=books&n=507846.
Re: The Bungalow
An arrangement of Skinner’s The Bungalow can be heard at
I have arranged it for celtic fiddle ensemble, with 2 fiddle lines, cello line, and chords for comping instruments.
The Weaver MacFarlane Choon Book is a free download of over 40 concert arrangements for this celtic fiddle ensemble. Use the download link at http://cracklingsmarts.com
(The Bungalow will be in the next release of the choon book, but if you want the dots I will email you a pdf (until the next release of the collected arrangements). No charge, just don’t say you wrote the charts.
Re: The Bungalow
The Bungalow was composed to be played immediately after one of Scott Skinner’s most famous strathspeys, The Iron Man, which is no doubt within the tunes section here.
But also see: https://www.abdn.ac.uk/scottskinner/display.php?ID=JSS0693
Re: The Bungalow
Er, well, the 2 tunes were published together! Lots of other Scott Skinner tunes on the Aberdeen University website, free access.
