Miss Lyall sheet music

Miss Lyall appears in these listings as a traditional tune, with one score explicitly titled as a reel. The versions are all in 4/4, but their opening key signatures differ—two have no sharps or flats and one has a single sharp—so the title alone does not identify a single key or setting. Composer attribution is also incomplete: one listing says “Trad”, while the others name no composer.

What the available scores show

The three listed scores of Miss Lyall share an opening time signature of 4/4. One is titled “Miss Lyall - reel” and credited to “Trad”; another is titled “Traditional music - Miss Lyall”; the third gives only the tune name. Their opening key signatures are not identical: two have no sharps or flats, while one has one sharp.

Choosing between the listed versions

If you need to play with others, check the opening key signature before choosing: the scores divide between no sharps or flats and one sharp. The score labelled “Miss Lyall - reel” supplies the clearest genre designation; the others give only the tune name. No instrumentation is specified in the listings, so players should inspect the score itself if they need a particular instrument or ensemble.

The reel label

Only one of the three scores uses the word “reel” in its title. That is evidence for treating that version as a reel, but it does not establish that every score under Miss Lyall is the same dance tune or the same setting. The shared 4/4 opening time signature is consistent across the three listings, but it does not by itself prove they are identical arrangements.

What remains unverified

The listings do not establish an individual composer, the tune’s origin, its instrumentation, its difficulty, or whether the versions are complete. They also do not provide enough detail to say whether the differing key signatures reflect transposed versions of one setting or distinct settings. Musicians should use the score notation, not the title alone, to judge these points.
