Could you add the formation "Corners Chase and Turn " in the dancedata, please? This formation also occurs in my dance “You are not alone”

Thanks very much in advance!

I have added the online source URL.

SCDDB does not currently list your Corners Chase and Turn formation. There is an informal “rule” that a new formation needs to occur in three dances to be added. I will consult…

It’s actually “three dances, preferably involving at least two different devisers”. At least that’s the current rule of thumb; there are probably formations in the database that have been added before the informal rule was instituted, and that don’t quite meet the requirements.

The goal is to avoid “vanity formations” that occur in very few dances all by the same person; we would like new named formations to have a certain amount of traction in the community before we go to the trouble of adding them to the database.
