Deviser's note: "Straighten your Lines" was written in July 2016 for Angelika Schmidkonz as a farewell present when she left Munich for Bochum after more than 13 years of very active membership. Angelika had been a committee member for many years, organised many dance events, danced in the Munich Scottish Association's demonstration team and was one of the MSA's dance teachers. She was particularly keen on having perfectly straight lines in the sets and never omitted to remind the class of this.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (4). A yellow background means a recording with one of the recommended tunes but a non-standard number of repetitions. Recordings with a red background use a different tune and possibly a non-standard number of repetitions.
