Hi Ken, I've never called this one, but this is my take on the end effects from a quick review (what the heck - the worst that could happen is I'm wrong!).
-Don Notation is "DV1" (my initials, first cycle, assuming full/even sets) and "DV2" (second cycle). If starting with a couple out, flip the cycles at that end. The Hobbitby Melanie Axel-Lute Intermediate ----- Dup imp *A1* (8) Neighbor balance and box the gnat DV1 => Still in same minor set, swapped place with N DV2 => Couples out at end awaiting next move (8) Pull by with right hand to previous neighbor; with that one, allemande left once around DV1 => All have de-progressed one minor set temporarily. If kicked "out" at the end, stay in place... don't do anything at end (or could allemande ghost or partner 1x back to place and then wait there) DV2 => end couples are temporarily back in the dance and participate through the B1 first move. *A2* (8) Women (in new group of four) allemande right once and a half DV1 => Gents are still on their home side, Ladies have crossed set (8) Partner swing DV1 => all on Gent's home side, still de-progressed 1 minor set *B1* (8) Circle left 3/4 and pass through to original neighbor DV1 => All are back at original minor set, nobody "out" now DV2 => "out" couple is once again out, stay in place. (8) Swing original neighbor DV1 => Back to standard improper home side, 1s below 2s (progressed) *B2* (8) Long lines forward and back (8) Lefthand star DV1 => Puts end couple really "out" and they should cross over at this point. DV2 => "out" couple coming back into the dance for real but will be subject to temporary ejection again (stay in place when it happens).
