A lovely jig

Both Kathleen Collins and Josie Keegan have recorded nice fiddle versions of this jig.It`s my first attempt at ABC notation so I hope it isn`t faulty.Cos.

Shouldn't many of the upper case b notes be lower case?

"Rosemary Lane" - C: Joseph M. Crofts

There are still problems with the original submission - for example the 6th bar of the B-part ~
| Bed cbA | ~ needing to change to ~ | Bed cBA | ~
Bill Reeder's gives it so above...

Here's the composer's own transcription, taken from his publication:

B: "Walton's Irish Dance Music: Including Original Tunes by J.M. Crofts A.D.C.M., Part One"
Dublin - no dates given but the paper has aged to a dark tan...

Page 3, the second tune of three: "Rosemary Lane"
