Yes. That is the way it works. It was just a matter of terminology.

I would think you'd want to have the 3rd and 6th couples as the "others": Normal H 1 1 S 2 4 S 2 4 3 3 H With six couples H 1 1 S 2 6 O 2 6 3 5 O 3 5 S 4 4 H If you have the 5th and 6th couples as the "others" instead then the choreography is really weird.
