In the Ann Dix’s original text, “JUST FOR YOU” is all in upper case, both in the index and on the dance page. So this is an editors’ choice between “Just For You” and “Just for You”. May I ask some native English speakers (or should I say Librarians?) to state their preference?

Current RSCDS policy is to capitalise nouns and the first letter of the title. (That policy has only been enacted in recent books and those that have been recently revised – IOW, everything up to Book 30 and from Book 46 on).
The database follows the policy of, as far as possible, using whatever the original publications use. Note that this does not extend to spelling JUST FOR YOU in all caps. In this case I personally would probably go with “Just for you” because that’s what the Society would do, but of course that wouldn’t compel anyone to do anything.
