    The Society "corrected" this "incorrect" phrasing in the latest edition
of book 7 (published in1986) ;
(The music is now arranged A B B' C C'  - bars 16 and 24 different; bars 32
and 40 different))

I'm not too convinced about the theory that the same dancing phrase should
use the same musical phrase -
we all dance Reel of the 51st to music arranged AABB without any problems,
although Machine Without Horses does work particularly well with an AABB
dance and an AABB tune.
