Couldn't find it anywhere on the web - probably didn't look hard enough. Can't believe it's not been posted before.

yeah that is a sort of quadrupet in the 2nd part - wasn't quite sure how to notate...
# Posted on December 13th 2008 by Pomme de Terre
Changed 5th bar of 2nd part to | a3 e A/B/c/d/ ef | - that's more like it I think!

This is the first of two reels on High Part of the road - McCahill's Reels
To my ears that bar mentioned above sounds more like
a3 A B/c/d ef|
The second one is here:

I'd go with what Donough suggests, but if you really insist on an equal 4 count as you've given it wouldn't be a quadruplet but 32nds ~

Duh!
Oops! ~ Sorry, I was reading it wrong, cross-eyed, mistakingly couting in the previous e as part of the second beat... Your count adds up just fine ~

It's too early for me to be fighting with this computer and trying to play music at the same time...
# Posted on December 13th 2008 by ceolachan
I dare say you're probably right Donough... I haven't heard the albums for years, but for good or ill that's how I've been playing it for the last 15 years!
That set has always been one of my favourites.
