Description

This dance is ostensibly a 200-bar dance in the database, but the description in the Leaflets book only accounts for 72+72+40=184 bars (which includes »honouring« other dancers already). Can anyone explain this?

The issue hinges on the question whether the »honouring« on bars 1–8 of figures 1 and 2 is also repeated when 2nd and 4th couples repeat the figure. Unlike earlier versions of the leaflet, the version in the Leaflets book makes it clear that it isn’t, so the total of 184 bars is correct. (I also peeked at the RSCDS document database, where this dance is scheduled to appear as part of the new combined A5 »leaflets« book and is labeled as a 184-bar dance.)

I’ve changed the bar count in the database and am closing this issue as »fixed«.

Thanks to Meinhard for supplying a number of earlier leaflets for the dance.
