X:2 T:St. Anne’s Reel T:as played by Fidel Martin, 1966-08-01 S:Fidel Martin M:4/4 L:1/16 Q:1/4=110 %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.) %M:4/2 %L:1/8 %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.)
