Detailed instructions

	First man	feet	Lady	feet	Second man	feet	Notes
1	R	L	R	L	R	L
2	t r_	LR	t r_	LR	t r_	LR	Turn 360° with a trapassino on the left over your own left shoulder. Then, do a ripresa to the left with the right foot - but without a close, or one would change feet. Alternatively, the trapassino could turn 180°, and the ripresa could also turn, as in a Passo Falso. However, it doesn't say to turn the ripresa here.
3	t t	LR	t t	LR	t t	LR	One way through the hall, then turn, and
4	t P	LR	t P	LR	t P	LR	One way through the hall, then turn, and
5	t t	LR	t t	LR	t t	LR	Back the other way
6	t P	LR	t P	LR	t P	LR	Back the other way
7			t r_	LR			Lady turn as in measure 2
8	t r_	LR			t r_	LR	Men turn as in measure 2
9	t t	LR	t t	LR			Taking right hands, and turning a full 360°
10	t t	LR	t t	LR	t t	LR	Treccia each returning to his original place (hands unspecified) We would suggest starting with the lady and the second man turning - essentially a hay and a half for the lady
11	t t	LR	t t	LR	t t	LR
12	t P	LR	t P	LR	t P	LR
13			t r_	LR			We are inferring the ripresa, from the "as above" in the very last section - we are assuming parallelism where it is not explicitly stated.
14	t r_	LR			t r_	LR
15			t t	LR			Lady leaves, and turns at the end
16			t P	LR			Lady leaves, and turns at the end
17			t r_	LR			We are inferring the ripresa, from the "as above" in the very last section - we are assuming parallelism where it is not explicitly stated.
18	t r_	LR			t r_	LR
19	t t	LR			t t	LR	Catch up with the lady, and turn at the end
20	t P	LR			t P	LR	Catch up with the lady, and turn at the end
21	t r_	LR			t r_	LR	We are inferring the ripresa, from the "as above" in the very last section - we are assuming parallelism where it is not explicitly stated.
22			t r_	LR
23	P P P ½P	LRL?	P P P ½P	LRL?	P P P ½P	LRL?	"Then all three take one another by the hand and do three and a half passi forwards." - maybe three steps and a swing? Or, possibly, a seguito spezzato
24	P P P ½P	?	P P P ½P	?	P P P ½P	?	And turn and take hands again, and do the same back the other way, and turn at the end.
25	½r ½r	LR	½r ½r	LR	½r ½r	LR	And turn and take hands again, and two mezza riprese
26	t r_	LR	t r_	LR	t r_	LR	Drop hands and do a trapassino turning as in measure 2 (the ripresa is inferred; the text merely says "they do a trapassino turning, as above"; however, the only above with all three doing a turning trapassino is in measure 2
