Erratum: According to the original instructions for bars 25–32, “3rd/1st couples Allemande while 2nd/4th Poussette”. This should read “3rd/4th couples Allemande while 2nd/1st Poussette”, i.e., the end couples dance the allemande movement while the middle couples dance the poussette movement. This leads to a formation which is centrally symmetric with respect to the whole set. (The deviser concurs with this.)
