Phil - I've checked the transcription against the book and it's OK. (actually I've only checked it against my own copy of the file, but since that came from Bruce's site originally I assume it's the same as currently online).

Personally, I wouldn't have set the mode as D dorian. The A section is fine as D major, or even D minor (though I think I prefer the major), but with no C natural in sight not D dorian. Only the middle of the B section seems to be dorian, reverting in the penultimate bar to the A section mode. Or you could treat it all as D minor with the 6th B always natural (as in ascending melodic minor - it does only appear twice, both times in an ascending run) and the leading note varying between the C and C#. I don't mind the sound myself!
