Dan:

Thanks for sending along Allan's Frankenstein's Monster dance. It reads really well and I look forward to running it through my head a few times and calling it.

How does the dance/music phrasing work, in practice, for the allemandes that span A2-B1? Instinct leads me to prefer having that all contained with A or within B (as in Chuck the Budgie).
