Scott Skinner hornpipe N:you can think of - changes key to D major in the second part, but O'Neill N:doesn't change the G major key signature. I have indicated the key change N:a little more clearly (I hope) in the simplified version. Also note that a key N:change like this usually indicates the tune is to be played A-B-A, but the N:Chief's notation doesn't show that.
