8 Potato Intros & Double Endings
In addition to the melody sheets, I have included in the attachments a chart of 8 Potato Intros for Liberty, and a chart of Double Endings for key of D fiddle tunes.

Notice that the last (4th) measure of the 8 Potato Intro includes the two pickup notes (or in the case of the banjo tab, just one pickup note) that lead into the first complete measure of the A Part of Liberty. If there were no pickup notes into the A Part of Liberty, then all 4 measures of the 8 Potato Intro would be identical with each other.  

The incomplete last measure on the melody sheets (2nd ending of the B Part) needs to be completed either by a quarter note rest, or by changing the last note from a quarter note to a half note before the first note of the double ending starts.  

I have also included in the attachments, a sheet for Scruggs-style banjo players that is intended to give some idea about how to go about converting the melody into a Scruggs-style break.
