Three comments

Trad metal

The tune from Liz Carroll that follows Baiting the hook on her solo album with Daithi Sproule. You can find it at

Play them as fast as possible, and after that smash your fiddle against the wall (that’s a joke, obviously ha ha).

Key, accidentals

This tune seems tobe in G mixolydian to me. Also, the notation is confusing. Normally, one accidental covers all subsequent occurances of the samenote for the duration of the measure, so there’s no need to put all those natural signs after the first one on the f in any given measure—however, since you notated it this idisyncratic way, do you intend all the fs not marked natural to be sharp?

If you had posted it in G mix, you’d only need to add those infrequent f sharps.

The Jumping White Nut Eater, X:2

Simplified the setting, G mix as requested, and replaced triplets with ornamented crotchets for ease of reading.
