LocB Ruin - Bornpipe or MarcB ?
I wondered what was going on until I realised the B naturals were all Hs.
How do you tell ABC to use H instead of B?
I have always treated Loch Ruin as a pipe-march rather than a Hornpipe as it has a strong alternate beat in 2 and is somewhat lacking in dotted rhythms. It could be slowed down into a strathspey though.

It is a march, but when you submit tunes there aren't "March".
Play it some fast, so that it isn't sad, but happy!
