Richard 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.
