%N: This booklet sometimes used the following icons in the dance descriptions (rotated 1/4 turn to be typable):
%N: .|. First strain first time.
%N: .|: First strain second time.
%N: :|. Second strain first time.
%N: :|: Second strain second time.
%N: In many cases, though, the end-of-phrase icons follow no sensible pattern.

%% Some abbreviations use small superscript letters with a dot underneath.
%% The dots are mostly ignored, and the letters typed as-is.

%% which are joined into staffs to look good at a small scale.
%% Dances are transcribed with the original line breaks, which isn't significant.
