Good points, Will. In Norwich, we had folks form sets of 7 or 8 couples, so everyone was able to be an active couple for at least a few rounds of the dance. (Greenfield dancers, as you know, are generally less willing to heed such requests from the caller.) I've also called it (and other triple minors) in four-couple longways sets, in the manner of many Scottish country dances. Do it twice and then the 1s drop to the bottom of the set. Eight times through and everyone has has two chances to play each role, plus the couple at the top waits out only once rather than twice. David Millstone
