As far as I know, Matt Seattle , Border piper and of Dragonfly Music did the transcriptions for FARNE. He also published the Vickers MS in 1987, as The Great Northern Tune Book. Its out of print now, but negotiations are ongoing to produce a new edition.

3/2 hornpipes are still a regular feature of Northumbrian pipers' repertoire, with or without variations. Vickers contains quite a few which can be played on modern pipes (with keys), as well as the old favourites such as Berwick Johnny / Billy; (Apprentice) Lads of Alnwick; and All the night I lay wi' Jockey / If ye will not rock it, let it lie and blare.
