'StateBlock' object has no attribute 'is_code_block'
Devised in honour of the 70th anniversary of the Surbiton & District Caledonian Society. 

The instructions were revised slightly in July 2018 to be clear that 1st couple pass each other left shoulder on bars 17 and 33 when entering the (right shoulder) half reels and pass right shoulder between the half reels.

Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (8). 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.

Recordings whose titles are in italics are not explicitly linked to this dance but have been identified by the database based on the type, bar count, and recommended tune(s) of the dance.
