N:NB-The A part as written was only 7 bars. However, the tune is virtually note for
N: note as that in O'Farrell (Pocket Companion for the Irish or Union Pipes, vol. 1),
N:c. 1805; pp. 26-27, and I have taken the liberty of adding notes from that
N:source to the end of bar 6 and the start of bar 7, to make 8 bars.
N:The 6th bar was originally |ceg cAd| and the 7th bar BGG G2:| with no 8th bar.
