The Rights of Man scores show a one-sharp key signature throughout, but the tonal labels differ: two scores are described as E minor and one as G major. Metre also varies, with two listings in 4/4 and one in 2/2. The 2/2 score is the E minor version credited to James Hill Northumberland. Use these details to narrow the choices, then check the notation itself before deciding which reading suits you.
Composer credit is inconsistent across the listed Rights of Man scores. One names James Hill Northumberland, another marks the music as traditional, and a third leaves the composer field blank.
Start with the key and metre you need. For an E minor reading, the listed choices include a 4/4 score and a 2/2 score credited to James Hill Northumberland; for a G major reading, the listed score is in 4/4 and marked traditional. The score details do not state instrumentation or arrangement type, so inspect the notation before treating any two versions as interchangeable.
The listed score details do not confirm difficulty, instrumentation, range, clef, repeats, ornaments, bowing or fingering. They also do not explain why the key labels differ despite the shared one-sharp signature. Check the actual score for these practical details rather than relying on the title or key label alone.

The listed Rights of Man scores all show a one-sharp key signature, but two are labelled E minor and one is labelled G major. The supplied details do not explain whether this reflects transposition, variant notation or different settings of the piece.
Both metres appear among the listed Rights of Man scores. Two versions use 4/4 and one uses 2/2; the 2/2 version is also labelled E minor and credited to James Hill Northumberland. A player should follow the metre of the score in hand rather than assuming all versions are barred alike.
Composer credit for The Rights of Man is inconsistent in the supplied scores. One listing names James Hill Northumberland, another marks the music as traditional, and a third leaves the composer unnamed.
The listed Rights of Man scores should not be assumed to be the same arrangement. They differ in key label and metre, and their composer credits do not match. Instrumentation and arrangement type are not stated, so compare the notation itself before treating the versions as interchangeable.
Choose according to the key and metre you need. The listed choices include an E minor 4/4 score, an E minor 2/2 score credited to James Hill Northumberland, and a G major 4/4 score marked traditional. Check instrumentation and notation in the score, because the listings do not establish difficulty or arrangement type.
