Folks,
Below is a query that I posted to the SharedWeight organizers' forum
on Nov. 12. Since it's been a week with no responses, I'm trying
again here on the callers' forum, where I hope more people will see
it (and where it seems not entirely off-topic, since some of you
callers may have shared techno-contra gigs with DJs).

Subject: Pay split at techno-contras
There's been some discussion before on SharedWeight about pay
formulas for staff at contra dances. For example, see the
callers' forum archive for June and July 2011, as well as some
of the recent posts on the subject "Accounting for numbers".
I have a question that I don't think I've seen discussed
before.
If you've organized or performed at "techno contra" events
that feature a DJ instead of a band, what, in your experience,
is the usual division of staff pay to DJ, caller, and sound
tech? What about at "techno-live" events with both a DJ and
live musicians?
Thanks.
