Well, here's my interpretation of "Hilonday"

HILONDAY

I decided to go with the melody from Terry Pt II (which I finally got, by the way -- hurray!). The reason was, as I mentioned earlier, Hugill and Smith's notations had irregularities (what's more, different in each) that suggest something funky. I'm not averse to funkiness, but without knowing more about how to interpret it I opted for Terry's "regular" form.
