I still have great trouble reading dances written with Larks/Ravens – for me the L means Ladies means the ones on the right. I have to think twice to understand the notation.
When I am using gendered terms (which many of my groups/customers still prefer) I would rather use Men than Gents. It has a much clearer sound.
Happy dancing,
John
