Not if they're slip jigs - they're in 9 (or 3) depending how you count it, and you have to play the second nine "upside down" if you play all nine beats. I cheat and usually play 123 456 7-9, so you get dud udu d-u (where d=down and u=up) so you're ready to start the next 9 on a downbeat - if you get my drift.......? Slainte mhath Trish
