Conclusions:
	This dance shows an amazing symetry, for which ECD is commonly known, as well as a complexity that reveals this not as a "proto-ECD", but a full-fledged example of the style.
	It does not, however, follow the normal "USA" verse formation (unless it is "understood" that the 3rd verse will be arming or half-turning even though the statement is that the last part shall be the first over again), which is interesting.
Music:	The instructions for part three contain a hint as to what the music should be:  "but note that all parts of the tune be played twice".  As I was setting out the above instructions, I had put together a totally different version of the congee and change bit, which I had to then revise because of this injunction.
	So, we have a pretty clear picture of what the musical framework needs to be:  a piece of music with 3 parts, each of which is played twice, which is then all repeated thrice, thus (AABBCC)x3.
	I say this because of the note in the first-part's instructions that "then the last part of the tune is playde again", implying that only the preceeding chorus phrase so far heard is played again, not the whole tune (as in The Milking Payle).
	I am assuming that the C-part is a 4-bar phrase, though it could just as easily be a 2-bar phrase, in which case the congeeing would get condensed again into three bows as you do a double back.  Since we don't know what the actual music is for this, we have some leeway in interpretation.
