The original instructions for Figure 2 just have "All dance eight hands round to the left" without specifying how far. In practise half way round, as shown in the videos, seems to fit well.
Table rows with a green background denote recordings starting with one of the recommended tunes and the usual number of repetitions for the dance (1). 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.
