Some at least of George's list are 96-bar dances, I'm familiar with Chrysanthemum (4 couples, square set) and Micmac Rotary (8 couples -though, Alan, Dance Data says 4 - in 2 square sets) so are outside the current discussion. Shouldn't Micmac Rotary be 2x48?

I am glad to say that my Sutton Coldfield Index shows it correctly as 3x48R. As a matter of interest I have raked through all the dance programmes that I and the Lothian Scottish Dance Band have played for to get the following list of all the 3x Reels and Jigs we have been asked to play over a period of about thirty years that I have on file.
