Original text not clear/manual of no help. Technique panel has:

The description of bars 25 - 32 in Bk28 is misleading - there is a note about this in both the old A5 and new A4 Manuals.

The way it is intended to be danced is for both couples to complete an 8-bar double figure of eight in only 6 bars of music, then to use the last two bars for the second couple to continue to dance up into first place, as if starting a second double figure of eight, while the first couple continue in and down, as for a second double figure of eight, but change their minds after half a bar and curve, first man by the right, first woman by the left, into second place, own sides.

I have changed my crib to make it yet more explicit that the Fig8 takes SIX bars [25-30], and is followed by a change of place [31-32]

Both in Minicrib and the diagram this is not fully clear; I think both could be improved. Eric
