Note: with normal size 4c sets there is no space for both 1c+2c and 3c+4c to dance their reels. TacTalk 25 #3/4 (March 2001) says »this dance should never be placed on a programme«. However, if a 3c set is used there is no lack of space.
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.
