Here is a list of the tunes in this file, and the dances we use them for.

The reason for some tunes not having a separate name is that there are no aliases for those tunes, i.e. the one name given is the only one used by us for that tune. For example, the Winterbourn Down Stick Dance tune was written specifically for the Winterbourn Down Stick dance, and the Jenny Lind tune (original name widely used in the esoteric land of folk musicians) is used for the Jenny Lind dance (choreographed by us to go with that tune).

The primary title of each tune in the list is the name we give to the dance performed - the secondary titles are either alternative names that the dancers use (e.g. Mind the Floor for Up Mill Steps) or names musicians might recognise from other sources (e.g. Portobello Hornpipe for Down Parade)
