O' Sullivan's

I got this tune from the album 'Sliabh Notes' by Sliabh Notes. They play it in Bb but I assumed it may normally have been played in A

Bogman,
It's not very clear in your transcription what are the parts (two or three) and waht is repeated. As I have no acess to the oroginal track, would you please inform us?

I guessed that the first line of music should be repeated and the 2nd and 3rd lines form the B section

It seems quite clear to me, especially if you check the ABC's. The first two lines are the first part and the third line is the second part and is repeated.

For some reason the double bar lines at the end of the first part do look like one thick one. I have noticed though that I have made a small mistake, the F in the 13th bar of the first part should actually be an E. Yikes, very sorry about that!

shows the beginning of the part which has to be repeated. Some abc converter programs wouls start at the beginning of the tune for the repetition and that's wrong for sure
