There are quite a lot of really good 3:2 hornpipes out there (at least they seem to be coming into the repatoire in English sessions more and more) but I'm a bit puzzled.
To my (very basic understanding of musical theory) a 3:2 hornpipe should be three (half beat/minim?) beats to the bar, so a simple accompaniament would be om-pah-pah. However they seem to be played more as 6:4 (om-pah om-pah om-pah). Which is correct (as far as musical theory goes)?
