[Callers] 4 couple set Chorus Jig

[Chet Gray via Callers]

4 couple longways proper (or whatever, it really doesn't matter much for
this dance, only if you you care about what role your corners are). Stretch
the set out in your mental picture. The contra corners pattern is Ts for
everyone instead of Ys for the actives as it typically is.
