It seems from some postings that we must be tidy while we

I think I'm firmly in favour of Crossing on the first and Bowing on the
second chord as being more sensible and a neater start to the
dance. As for causing confusion - well it doesn't when something
(even very minor) is changed in the manual. It seems that everyone
just snaps to attantion, salutes and it is done without fuss.

Perhaps just a few grumbles but then --- :))
