No, John is correct. Not a typo.

There are quite a few of these scattered through society publications (and
elsewhere, but I'll stick to what I know about). As a tune form they are
widespread, but survive alive and played in our area and Shetland for just two.

Try The Steam Plough and Harlow Hill Lads (early C19) in NPS 3 , Dear Tobacco
(prob. C17) in the Charlton Memorial (amongst many others therein).

As to "who writes those now?" well here you go:

There's a picture of this on my Facebook page which can be seen by all at:

(or so the Facebook instructions tell me!)

I am not the only one who writes them, nor is this the only one I have.

Hope this helps
