+s lead down through 2s, cast up, and flow into...
+A2 1s half figure 8 down, and 2-hand turn.
+   End improper, facing opposite gender neighbour.
+B1 Neighbours back to back and 2-hand turn
+B2 Partners back to back.
+s cross and cast down while
+s meet* and lead up
+</code>
+*B2 to A1 transition: If the 2s take some time to meet (bars 5 & 6) they can make B2 flow into the lead up of A1 without stopping.
