Pavane:What distinction are you making between 3/4 and 6/8 in the various versions of Greensleeves? Historically people have notated it in 6/8, 6/4 or 3/4, but that is surely a matter of taste in notation; it has no implication on the sound or rhythm of the music (though you might expect to play 3/4 slower thaan 6/8, in modern notation anyway).
