What the listed versions show

The available scores titled Ashley's Hornpipe are not identical presentations. Their opening key signatures include G major (one sharp), D major (two sharps), and no sharps or flats. Two versions open in 4/4 and one opens in 2/4. These details describe how each score begins; they do not establish that the whole piece stays in one key or metre.

Choosing by key and metre

If you need a particular key or metre, compare the opening signatures before choosing an Ashley's Hornpipe score. The options shown include G major 4/4, D major 4/4, and a version with no sharps or flats in 2/4. Check the full score for the complete notation, since an opening signature alone does not show the full range, instrumentation, or difficulty.

Attribution and title suffixes

No composer is named for Ashley's Hornpipe in the available listings; the versions are credited only to “Misc tunes.” The titles also carry suffixes such as JMP.006, JJo.061, and WM.043, but the supplied material does not explain what those codes mean. Do not assume the tune is traditional, anonymous, or an original composition without further evidence.

Opening tempo markings

Two listed versions include opening tempos: 180 BPM for the G major 4/4 version and 120 BPM for the version with no sharps or flats in 2/4. The D major 4/4 version does not state an opening tempo in the supplied details. An opening tempo marking describes the start of a score, not a complete performance plan.
