These three very early printed collections were published with explanatory notes as 'Three Extraordinary Collections', Pete Stewart, Hornpipe Music, Pencaitland, 2007. Originally put into ABC by Pete Stewart in 2004.
He has permitted them to be used (not for profit) and I have
lightly revised them. Some of the time signatures in the originals
were very suspect, and I have changed many from 6/4 to 3/2 for the
modern reader. Some are marked, and occasionally barred, as 6/4,
where there is a good case for them being properly in 9/4, but I
have left some of those as they are, being no great barrier to
reading.
