3 X quicktime dances and music

G'Day,

Sorry, George, but MacPherson's Jig is a 3 couple triangular set dance!!

One reason dances become popular is that the teacher using recorded music
can find a recording with the same name as a dance - it makes it a lot
easier to find in the class situation. This means that such recordings as
Bonnie Anne don't register as being played as a 3x32 jig. For example in my
spreadsheet music listing, I have it as 1x96!!
