%N: This booklet sometimes used the following icons in the dance descriptions (rotated 1/4 turn to be typable):
%N:   .|.  First  strain first  time.
%N:   .|:  First  strain second time.
%N:   :|.  Second strain first  time.
%N:   :|:  Second strain second time.
%N: In many cases, though, the end-of-phrase icons follow no sensible pattern.
