Comparing the three listings

The three selected scores are not identical in notation. Two listings of The Britches Full Of Stitches open in D major with a 2/4 time signature, while the listing titled 'Oh, The Britches Full of Stitches' opens with no sharps or flats and a 2/2 time signature. The listed note counts also differ considerably, so the scores should be compared as separate arrangements or notations rather than assumed to be copies of one another.

Using key and metre to choose

If a session, teacher or ensemble requires D major and a 2/4 opening, two of the listed scores match those details. If you need a version without sharps or flats and with a 2/2 opening, the 'Oh, The Britches Full of Stitches' listing is the one that matches. These are practical selection criteria drawn from the score listings, not claims about which version is more authentic.

What the listing details do not establish

The supplied material does not identify a composer, date, region of origin, genre or instrumentation for The Britches Full Of Stitches. It also does not establish difficulty grades or a preferred edition.
