What the three settings share

All three available scores for The Black Rogue are credited to 'Misc Traditional' and described as folk. Their opening key signature is two sharps, identified as D major, and their opening time signature is 6/8. These details describe the start of each score, not necessarily the whole piece.

Comparing the three settings

One score is titled 'the Black Rogue v.2'. The listed descriptions differ in length and note count: two are given as roughly 24 seconds with 162 and 180 notes, while the other is given as roughly 48 seconds with 384 notes. Treat those figures as approximate prompts to compare the actual notation, not as proof that the versions are identical or separate arrangements.

Reading beyond the opening

Because every available score gives the same opening key and time signature, the main visible difference is length. Check the score itself for the full melodic range, any later changes of key or metre, and the notation that follows the opening. The available information does not identify instrumentation or a named arranger, so those details need to be confirmed from the score.

What is not established

The available information does not identify a composer, a regional origin, a historical background, or a difficulty level for The Black Rogue. It also does not confirm whether the 6/8 opening belongs to a particular dance type or tune category. The traditional attribution and folk description are broad labels rather than a full account of the tune's history.
