Which prompted me to drag out my copy of Pilling (Third Edition), which I
have not looked at for over 20 years.
That is not the only error there.  The dance is listed as 32 bars instead of
40. There are 5 8 bar sequences, and 3 of them have one or more errors. Bars
19-22 are indicated as "set advancing-set retiring. Should be advance and
retire with skip change. The diagrams for bars 25-40 have all on the wrong
side of the dance, and the hand giving is wrong on bars 33-38,
