Requires music which plays 5×32.

Ian Brockbank points out with reference to the description published in RSCDS Book 47:

I’ve had several queries asking me if the last 2 bars of The One O’Clock Canon have changed. For bars 63–64, Book 47 says

“1st couple cast off one place while the couple in fourth place dance up to third place.”

This is a misprint. Only on bars 159–160 do they dance up to third place. On all other times through (63–64, 95–96 and 127–128) they dance up to second place, allowing the previous first couple (half way through their dance) to cast into third place.

“Name” column: normal = designated recording, greyed-out = designated but not official lead tune, italic = possible match found in DB (watch number of repeats!)
