The Shapron
"Shapron" is an old (18th century) spelling of "Chaperon".
I believe the tune to be of English origin - possibly from the north-east.
I would classify it as being a "rant" tune, but as thesession doesn't list "rant" as tune-type, I've submitted it as a reel.
It goes very well with that old war horse, "Soldier's Joy".

It looks like you've put the bar lines one place too far to the left. I think it should be like this:

The Shapron - Anacrusis
Thanks, granama, for pointing this out. You are absolutely right, of course! I quite annoyed with myself for having made this mistake.
I've corrected my abc posting but (as you no doubt know), such corrections to the abc are never reflected with a correction to the "Sheetmusic", so unfortunately there is nothing that I can do about that.

The shapron
glad to see someone is paying attention!
I've checked my pencilled notation from William Winter's original manuscript and there is indeed an anacrusis ( F# E ) to the value of a crotchet!
When I researched the Winter manuscript , I could find no tune of this name in the V Williams library at C# house-- if you know any other sources - please post the info !
