It's not as clear-cut as I had thought - there seems to be a fair major/minor split in both set dances and jigs. What follows is the result of a trawl through the Morris Ring's "Handbook of Morris Dances"

• ABINGDON (set) G maj, F maj
• ADDERBURY (set) D min
• BAMPTON (jig) G min
• BIDFORD (set) G maj, G maj
• BLEDINGTON (jig) A min, G Dorian
• DUCKLINGTON (jig) G min
• FIELDTOWN (jig) G maj
• ILMINGTON (Nelson's Praise) (jig) G Maj
• LONGBOROUGH (jig) G Dorian, G Min
• ODDINGTON (jig) G maj
• SHERBORNE (jig) G maj, F maj
• STANTON HARCOURT (set) G min

If you count tunes you get:
Set Dances - 4 major, 2 minor
Jigs - 5 major, 6 minor/modal

But if you count traditions you get an even split:
Set Dances - 2 major, 2 minor
Jigs - 4 major, 4 minor/modal
