N:Shows one sharp in ms. The tune makes
N:much more sense in the key of F major (modulating into D minor).
N:The 'DC' mark as shown is also indicated with a double barline with 4 dots
N:on each side. It is not clear whether the DC should really be a 'Fine' marking
N:(though not an obvious place ti finish), perhaps with the DC being placed at the end of the tune.
