Ah! Ha! Norm, it seems we now have another difference to Victoria. Up here
if a tune is in 4/4 (not the fraction) but someone then performs it in 3/4
,we would consider that to be a change of time signature, not sure now what
you would call it.   Please enlighten the list.  Sorry I don't know who did
the arr. I heard,  maybe it was Geoff Harvey ?  It was sung at a grand
final of the football (ours).

And are you also trying to say that God save the Queen is not the National
Anthem of G.B.( like we use the Star Spangled Banner for the U.S.A.) ,I
don't think pedantic is the right word either.
