Longways for as many as will; in one part (11th Ed., 1701)
| MUSIC | MOVEMENTS | |
| N.B.—The tune is in triple time, i.e., three steps to the bar. (Duple minor-set.) | ||
| A | 1–2 | First and second couples hands-four half-way round. |
| 3–4 | The first woman changes places with the second man; while first man and second woman turn single. | |
| 5–6 | Hands-four half-way round. | |
| 7–8 | The first man changes places with the second woman; while the first woman and second man turn single. | |
| B1 | 1–4 | First and second men, joining inside hands, lead between the two women (w.s.) and cast off back to the same places (r.s.). |
| 5–8 | Partners turn once-and-a-half round and change places (progressive). | |
| B2 | 1–4 | First and second women, joining inside hands, lead between the two men and cast off back to the same places. |
| 5–8 | First man passes clockwise round second woman and returns to his place; while first woman passes counter-clockwise round second man and returns to her place. |
Just to avoid confusion, note that at the end of B1 you are in progressed places — when Cecil Sharp
says “turn once and a half round and change places” he
means “turn once and a half to change places”.
B2:5–8 amounts to: “ones half figure eight up and then cross back to their own side”
There is a suggestion that in the interminable turn one-and-a-half in B1 (in 12 steps) you can phrase it as turn half way in 3, a
quarter way in 3 (into a line up and down the middle of the set) and then three-quarters in 6 steps.
