Notes on GB/7d/35 A redundant flat has been removed from the key signature, which is F and in the Dorian mode; the tune is unaltered by this. Fermatas have been added on the final minim in each of the three verses (at the ends of the second, fouth and sixth lines) to bring out the unusual and beautiful shape of the tune. The "cannon ball" interpolation clearly relates to a variation in the tune specific to that particular verse.
