'StateBlock' object has no attribute 'is_code_block'
Opinions differ on the last two bars of this dance (petronella or turn right hand). For detailed discussions of interpretations of historical sources see the following strathspey mailing list threads: <<sspey-thread:70706>>, <<sspey-thread:69473>>, <<sspey-thread:69471>>, <<sspey-thread:37481>>. The dance is attributed to Jack McConachie on the basis that his changes from the original are effectively a new dance.
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.
