The tune, however, is in an odd 9/8 time, not at all what we think of as a reel today but more akin to the triple-time hornpipe, states Emmerson (1971). The tune is incomplete, and since it is in 9/8, it is obviously not what we consider today to be a reel, though Alburger thinks it may have been inaccurately recorded from someone's playing. | '''COMERS OF LARGO, A REELL (sic), THE'''.
