I'm wondering if those 6/4 measures in the B part are just the result of a idiosyncratic notation (in the notation in the files section). It ends up being the same number of beats as 8 regular measures with pickup notes at the beginning of the B. It's written out without those 6/4 measures in the J

I may be wrong, but every version I've heard has structured that part differently, so I put it strongly in the "feel" category. There may have been an agreed upon structure at some point, but it seems long gone. If anyone has more input, I'd welcome hearing it. This is going to be a regular rotatio

So what about the structure? I've been sitting counting bars after tabbing out Hartford's first time round and learning a sheet music transcription of Haley I found, and things are wildly different: the A is the same: all in 4 but the last bar in 6 second time around, but then Hartford seems to do

You're getting close Don. I'm not sure what you changed to be able to play it, so I can't say rightly or wrongly if there's a couple of things I'm hearing that would keep you off the path. One of the distinct tones of the tune on the B part, however, is making that D/Fnatural double stop or jump
