I'm not sure I understand. If there is no rubric after Menuet 2, I'd say: ABCA (ignoring internal repeats, of course) But if there's a repeat rubric at the end of Menuet 2, do what it says, likely repeat Menuet 1: ABACA But there's really not enough information without the exact text of the rubrics. In any event, are you sure it says in the graphic you posted to repeat Menuet i and not ii? There appears to be a flaw in the paper, it looks like there are two dots, i.e., as in "ii", but the flaw in the paper makes it difficult in the scan to see if the lower part of the i is there or not. -- David W.
