Hi Greg and Rickey,
I've attached a photo of a few dance cards to show the matrix formed. My cards are 4x6 so have a bit more room than 3x5. I have a master card that goes behind to give the column headings. My scheme is a variation of the headings shown in Linda's example, and rather than tick the appropriate box, I have use a 'shading' code and put some text there too. The attached example: The first dance (row) 1B means the dances starts with N Bal and Sw, the blue means Gents LA. GT and CP in the move 1 and move 2 means this dances has some special moves, namely Give and Take, and Clapping. Dance 2 starts with Circle Left and has Pull By as special move Dance 3 (Another Nice Combination) 1G starts Nbr Gypsy and Sw, it has Part Sw, P in the Circle Left column mean has transition Circle to pass thru. I have an excel spread sheet which parses the dances and (attempts) to generate the top lines. Cheers, Bill
