Corrections

I admit it — I produced this book in a rush and there are far too many mistakes!

Northbourne Hop — page 6

You are supposed to join hands in the lines.

Old Friends and New — page 7

In an earlier version of these corrections I said that the neutral twos at the top don't need to turn half-way in A1, but the original book is correct; they do, since they won't be doing the cross and cast at the start of A2.  That's what comes to listening to my guinea-pigs!

The B music should start A C C D C and then F in bar 2, rather than A E E F E and then A in bar 2.

Star of David — page 10

The dancing right shoulder round someone in A1 and A2 is until you are facing in — don't go all the way round.

True Brittania — page 21

The D music in 2:2 time is for the last time through the dance.

Good Turns — page 22

It's a standard progression, not a reverse progression.

Midwinter — page 24

Bar 7 of the B-music needs crotchet G and B after the minim G and an octave below it.

Tea Up!  — page 32

A1 is like the start of a “strip the willow” from both ends.  It should be danced with a step-hop all the way through, not just in B2.

The Clocks Go Back Tonight — page 27

Add a time signature of 2:2, and the sharp in the key signature of the second line.

Elegy — page 29

In bar 8 of the B music the last two notes should be A, B, not F, G.

English Breakfast Tea — page 30:   In C2, “Men cross left shoulder” means “cast left shoulder round each other”.

No Clapping!  — page 44

The note should say Cary Ravitz, not Gary Ravitz.  The sharp in the key signature of the A music shouldn't be there, but as there aren't any F's in the tune it doesn't matter!

Megalomania — page 48

Yes I did mean that G# in bar 5 of the B-music — but I've missed out an F# in bar 7.
