What to check before playing

The available scores do not name an instrument for The Greencastle Hornpipe. Before choosing a version, inspect the clef, range, bar layout, and any performance directions in the score itself. Do not assume that a setting is suitable for a particular instrument, or that a title variant indicates a particular difficulty level, without checking the notation.

Listed durations for the available scores differ, with some around 80 seconds and one around 160 seconds. Treat those figures as descriptions of individual scores rather than as a definitive performance length; tempo, repeats, and the way a group plays the tune can change the actual duration.
