I changed the key, not the pitch. The song was marked as being in F, but every B note in it was changed to a B natural. No doubt the F key was a mistake.
I changed it from 5/ 4 to 4/4 because in 4/4 it looked right and sounded right, consisting of 4-measure phrases ending in long notes (cadences). That is a very traditional pattern.
