Yoyo, I'm curious why you think a dance being in Becket formation would make the end effects less confusing (either for dances with out-on-minor-set interactions in general or for "Vote with Your Feet" in particular) than in a duple improper dance of otherwise similar complexity. I'd never thought of such a thing, and my first reactions is to be mildly skeptical for various reasons, starting with the fact that many dances can be set as either Becket or improper depending on where in the sequence you start the A1 music. But you seem to be pretty thoughtful about this stuff, so rather than going on in a skeptical vein, I think I'll learn more by asking you to explain in more detail what you had in mind. Thanks. --Jim
