Michael Dyeck has the dance notated differently (as do I, since I took
it from the book); he is citing Penn Fix's original book, "Contra
Dancing in the Northwest" in which the dance was published. The A1,
B1, and B2 are all the same as in Nancy's note; however, the A2 in the
original is:
A2 (note that there is not a balance here) Previous neighbor allemande
left
Present neighbor swing
This makes for a much smoother, more interesting dance, I believe.
Hope this helps!

Hi All,
I have Settlement Swing by Penn Fix as this:
A1 Neighbor dosido to long wavy line G face out, Ladies face in,
rt hand to N
Bal the wave, alle right 1x, re-form the wave
A2 Balance wave, Neighbor swing
B1 Ladies chain, over and back
B2 One’s balance and swing
I'm wondering what your instructions would be for the Balance at the
start of A2? Balance right, then left again, Or for this second long
wave, Balance left, then right?
Thanks!
