If the recording does not quite match the number of bars in the dance Im not sure it is appropriate to link them. Maybe other editors will comment?

Some versions of the instructions for this dance give the format as Chorus 1, Verse 1, … Verse N, Chorus N+1, adding a final chorus, resulting in 144 bars. Other versions give the format as Chorus 1, Verse 1, … Verse N, omitting the final chorus and so resulting in 128 bars.
I think the best idea is to link either length of performance, and put a note on the dance that there are two versions where one has a final chorus and the other doesn’t.

I feel that the extra notes already reflect enough that no final decision can be made on either 128 or 144 bars. The 128 bar recording has been linked to the dance already, fitting to one of the two versions. We don’t need to add an extra note for that, that’s self explaining IMHO.
