%alternatively, it could be in 4/2 with the following. (That lets us use the swing feature in Michael Eskin's tool but is less to my taste.)

%Q:1/4=220
N:1. I think this was played on a violin tuned one whole tone down.
N: So the top three strings are DGC. Maybe the last one is an F?
N:2. Notated in 4/4, with semiquavers (aka quarter notes) as the basic unit,
N:as that’s the way I generally prefer writing reels these days.
N:3. For the ornaments and phrasing, this is just a rough outline. It’s best
N:of course to refer to the original recording.
N:4. It’s interesting to compare this transcription with from A. Kuntz’s
N:one, as both are based on the same recording. Apart from the differences
N:in key signature and meter, there are only a few other significant
N:differences.
N:5. (The following notes are copied from A. Kuntz.)

N:in the second strain.
