Compare the opening key and metre
Two scores open with two sharps, one of which is labelled D major, while one score opens with one sharp and is labelled G major. Two scores use 2/2 and one uses 4/4. Check the first bars of the score you intend to play and choose a key and metre that suit your instrument, group, or reading preference. These details describe openings only, not necessarily the whole piece.
Treat title variants as separate scores
The Old Pigeon on the Gate is listed separately from Pigeon on the Gate. The supplied information does not establish whether these titles refer to the same melody, a variant, or different pieces. Compare the notation and opening signatures rather than assuming the titles are equivalent.
What the score information can and cannot show
The scores give opening key signature, opening time signature, note count, and duration, but no composer, instrument, genre, or edition information. Note counts and durations describe individual scores and do not establish difficulty, historical identity, or original instrumentation. Use the notation itself for musical decisions.
Choose by notation, not title alone
Because instrumentation is not stated, examine the clef, range, rhythm, and ornaments in each score to judge whether it suits your instrument or ensemble. If you need a particular key, compare the opening signature, but read beyond the first bars because the opening may not describe the full course of the piece.
