Searching through my collection of abcs I found that tune in the O'Neil's
project files, complete with its header (makes it a lot easier to work
with:-)
X:1845
T:The Battle Of Aughrim
M:2/4
L:1/16
B:O'Neill's 1845
Z:"Transcribed by Bob Safranek, [EMAIL PROTECTED]"
Z:There is no way to duplicate the notation of the grace notes in bar 8

It's nothing like the Battle of Aughrim which I know, in fact it doesn't sound
like a tune at all - more of an introduction, perhaps?
The tune I know is this one (in Henrik Norbeck's transcription):
X:7
T:Battle of Aughrim, The
R:march
Z:id:hn-march-7
M:2/4
L:1/8
