Transcription based on the recording *Natural Angle* by Gráda. The tune is actually in F# minor, but there's no option for adding tunes to the database in that key.

F#m
F#m is the relative minor of A major which should give you the right number of sharps.

I second that notion

Sure, but it's not in Amaj. I've left it in Bmin so that at least anyone searching for the tune expecting it to be in a minor key will find it
I do realize there's little consistency with the treatment of other tunes in F#minor on the site. For example,
Ryan's (Cathal McConnell's) (Listed as Bmin)

Farewell to Whalley Range (Listed as Amaj)

The tune was composed by Colin Farrell, the (now ex-) fiddler of Gráda.

There really are quite a lot of tunes around in F#m and that really should be an option on the site. I see that the tune has been changed now to be in A major. That is definitely the right choice.
