Description

the top source for this seems like a ref to notes for a ball or something. I think the most recent (1997) printing of Glasgow Assembly is definitive.

The top reference (The Geneva Park Dances Part 1) is a book(let) from 1970. I agree that the Glasgow Assembly book, published in 1976, is probably a more accessible source (and possibly more up-to-date).

in fact whoever entered the Geneva Park Dances book assigned the wrong publication priority to these dances (10 is normally reserved for dances in mainline RSCDS HQ publications). I changed the priority for all dances in the publication to 31, which means they should appear below dances in other Bob Campbell books such as Glasgow Assembly.

The “Glasgow Assembly” is correctly listed at the top of “Published in”.

The “Online source” in SDA works correctly. If the “Glasgow Assembly” is online, please tell me the URL and that will be added as a new online source.

Ignored. Eric

That was a bona-fide bug in the database, which I fixed. You saw the already-fixed situation.

The dances from Glasgow Assembly are online under the auspices of the Scottish Dance Archives project, and this dance is correctly linked to its online source on the www.dancearchives.co.uk site.
