A large and diverse number of sets allow instrumentalists to start performing a particular Set of Tunes straightaway. The suggested Sets are only meant as examples and should be changed if preferred. For box players, the book provides Chords placed beneath the Music Notation. Still, separate Chord Arrangements are making it easier on the eye for Guitar, Bouzouki, or Cittern players, i.e., a page of Chord Arrangements follows the Music Notation. While it is custom to play each tune twice or three times, most tunes are played once only because of the sheer volume of tunes. However, a few tunes in part 1 were performed twice or three times. Another few are with bodhran accompaniment. The single reel Flowers of Red Hill is played three times because of its variations. Each tune in the set Sporting Paddy - Man of The House (single reels) repeats three times. Apart from playing the reel Mason's Apron in a set, the tune is also performed as a single track but with four variations. Chord Arrangements: Chord Arrangements are meticulously vetted for accuracy.
