Subject: RE: My Don Quixote songs (Piers Plowman)
The range of the song is only a fifth, so there's no need to distinguish octaves. In the first one, I should have distinguished them, since the B part (of the AABA pattern) is higher than the A part.

There are a couple of places where an extra word needs to be fit into a dotted quarter-note. In the second verse, the first word ("A") is a pickup and the stress should fall on "barber". Other verses may require some adaptation.
