N:The way this has been strangely written down with what would normally
N:be considered to be inappropriate bar lines, lead in notes, and
N:incorrect spelling of Meg Merrilees, strongly suggests to me that this
N:has been attempted from memory rather than sloppy copying, and
N:indicates that the author of the MS has a “consumer’s” knowledge of
