Playford, 1690  (Van Cleef collection, Pinewoods Fund Collection, Barnes)
Longways duple minor
noted as 3/4 but looks kind of 6/8y to me.  I make 18 bars of 3/4 time notated
with mostly 8th notes.

Playford says:

First couple meet and set, and turn single, then W1 cast off to second place
improper (her partner at the same time follows her and casts off to the second
place improper), the 2nd couple doing the same, then the two men hands and lead
through the women, then to the same [place?]  then all clap and all hands quite
round, and then the the two women do the same, then clap, then all hands half
round and turn single.


Alan sez (from Jody's calling):

1s set forward, turn single, W1 (with M1 following) casts off, goes below,
and crosses the set to finish improper, 2s moving up.

2s the same.  [All home]

[As M2 returns on the trip he can catch hands with M1 (above) for the ...]
men lead between the women and cast back to place; clap on the last beat of
this strain.

Circle 4 all the way around.

Women lead between the men, cast back to place, clap on the last beat of this
strain.

Circle 4 HALFWAY (progressive), turn single (right).
