Dear everyone,

   There is a dance in triple time in Panmure 5, fol. 17v-18, that
   probably is neither a courante nor a sarabande, lacking their
   chracteristic rhythms. It has hemiolas in cadences, but also other
   characteristic rhythms, though, like crotchet - minim at some ends of
   phrases, or crotchet - dotted crotchet - two semiquavers / one quaver
   (marking the ends of hemiolas).


   Some say it's a country dance. Yet I wonder if English country dances
   (and masques, for that matter) come in even time?
