You've obviously spent some time looking at this and I appreciate your
observations. It's interesting that you noted the music as being important for
the milonguero. That's one of the reasons cross system is used so much. Have
you also noticed that followers are usually led to cross on the half-beat?
Musically, it all goes with the quick-quick-slow timing.
Cross systems allows more figures than parallel but there are still certain
types of communication that work best in parallel. Part of the reason one
might say that tango "is dirty". ;-)
