Here is the way the Tucson Open Band does it:
BAB means balance in the A and B part
BB means balance only in the B part.
Then categories Swing, Groove, Smooth, Waltz

Hi fellow contra musicians :)
I'm reaching out with a question both wearing my contra musician and
my contra caller hat.
*How do you label/categorize your sets?*
*And what descriptors do you like to hear from callers in order to
decide what set to play?*
As a musician, I've played with many different ways of describing my
various bands' sets. As a caller, I've tried various descriptors.
I've tried to capture these in a google document
<https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/d/18FpoaGreXoj8eXXkCcgksgwgzKVwRncg2psfZfaAWtE/edit?usp=sharing>.
The * items are the descriptors I'm likely to rely on if I'm calling.
You can see I often go for describing the movement that the tunes
might invoke and sometimes go to the feelings too.
I'd love to get your input!
You could fill out your own column or two in the table or write back
here.
Any and all thoughts welcome.
I'd love to hear your favourite descriptors.
Thanks :)
Emily in Ottawa
