I`ve changed it to read `hornpipe` because I have it written in 4/4 time but putting it as a polka it comes out in2/4 time.

I've changed it to read 'polka' because it is in 2/4 time.

Alternative (better) first bar

Use |fgfededB| instead of |fgfe d3B|, makes it more lively.

I've come across the odd musician who played the second part of this tune as the first part.
