Comparing the available versions

Cooley's is represented by scores with different notation details. Two listed versions use a two-sharp key signature and 2/2 time; another uses a one-sharp signature labelled E minor and 4/4 time. Length also varies, so compare the score you open rather than assuming all Cooley's versions match.

Choosing a key and time signature

The key signature and time signature are the quickest ways to tell Cooley's versions apart. Pick the one that matches the notation you need to read; the records do not identify a single authoritative key or metre.

Composer and attribution

None of the listed Cooley's scores names a composer; credits appear as NA or anon. That is an absence of attribution in these scores, not proof about the tune's origins.

What score details can and cannot tell you

Note counts and durations describe individual Cooley's scores and can help distinguish one version from another, but they are not reliable evidence of difficulty, instrumentation or the tune's history. Check the score itself for those details.
