Norah, see my recently previous in re.

According to 101 and VII-12, 1s should definitely not cross on bars
13-16 according to the notes.
But as I stated, the figure which you describe was probably the
correct original, misinterpreted by Miss M (101) and the SCDS
(VII-12).

I personally feel that unless there is a specific good reason, this
change from RSCDS notes should not be recommended in any official way
as it only leads to antisocial disagreement on the floor.

On the other hand, if a couple often dance togather, and if no others
but this couple are inconvenienced or involved, there is no reason why
that couple can not opt to change ...
     lead up and cast to corners
          to
     cross up and cast to corners
as the result is the same and no one else is involved.
