+NOTES
+Al, 2
+ln Maggot Pie, the turns single are noted as being to the right after right hands across,
+and to the left after left hands across. We have been doing them the other way!
+B1, 2
+There is no facing back in to the set by the pairs that cross on the diagonals.
+Simply continue forward into the loop around the standing dancer.
+A pleasant and most uncomplicated dance! Middle couple in any round has the extra pleasure
+ dancing the entire A music, above, and then below. All to a sweet tune.
