For bars 17-24, I believe the phrasing for the Chaperoned Chain is 2-bar, 4 bar, 2 bar. The diagram suggest the phrasing was 4-bar, 4-bar and 4-bar with the dashed lines separating the figures. Could you help confirm my understanding? Thanks.

The “vertical slash” character marks the end of bar 2 and bar 6. A “;” character(semicolon) marks the end of bar 4. The phrasing is therefore (2,4,2) just as you state. I have now added the numbers in the “whiles” to reduce the chance of confusion.

in addition, since the question explicitely addessed the diagram and not the cribs:
In Keith’s diagrams there 3 different vertical bars, namely solid, dashed and dotted. The solid bars separate 8-bar phrases, the dashed occur at the 4bar separation of the 8bar phrase, and the dotted can occur after 2 of 6 bars. (Note that the latter (dotted) bar is not used in the “wee green book”.
The 8bars in question show two dotted and no dashed bars, that means the phrasing is 2,4,2.
Best, Heiko
