Sorting and Filtering Help

Sorting

You can sort the list by any of the columns by clicking on the up and down arrows at the top of the column.

Filtering

There are two ways you can filter the information, ie search for the specific information you are interested in. 

  • The top left hand search box operates on the whole table. It will search through all the records and all the columns for a match on the text you enter. The global search is an "OR" search across all the columns. 
  • You can also filter on individual columns, or combinations of columns. This is an "AND" search, ie the search criteria have to be valid in all the columns being searched.

The filter boxes for the colums are located immediately under the column title. There are two type of filter box. Those with a 'heathery' colour are free text input boxes (just like the global search box). You can start typing and the selection will update dynamically. This is often refered to as 'typedown'. The dark pink filter boxes (also have a drop-down arrow) are selection filters. When you click in the selection box or on the drop down arrow at the right-hand end of the selection box, a drop down list of values will appear (NB. you can only select one value in each column).

You can clear all the column filters by clicking on the [Clear Column Filters] button at the top of the table. To clear individual column selections click in the blank area at the top of the drop down list. To remove a global search just delete the characters you have entered in the Global Search box. 

The global search is very powerful. For example, if you enter "sun" it will find all:

  • records with "Sunday" in the date field, as well as
  • records with "sun" included in the title , eg "Sun Assembly", "Rising Of The Sun" and "Sunset Limited"
  • records with "sun" in the venue (eg "Watsun Village Hall").

Notes
1
The original tune is an 8-bar phrase and I have notated the dance accordingly. If you use a regular 32-bar tune then you need 7x through if you do the dance once, 10x if you repeat the dance with the 1s starting the sequence again as soon as the 2s are back or 13x if you repeat the dance without stopping for the FINALE after the 5s get back.
 
 
 
 
2
1s always do arming when they are leading, 2s do stars, 3s to circles, 4s do dosidos and 5s do siding
 
 
 
 
3
5s need to get home quickly after finishing their siding with the 4s
 
 
 
 
4
John says "The original has 1s splitting the couple and arming once with each couple all the way around the circle 'for as many as will' .. 'and so forwards to the next, the rest following in order'. The timing of when the rest follow is unclear. Sharp interprets it as 2s don't start until 1s have been all the way around. After each couple does arming all the way around, the dance starts again with stars, then with circles, but only star or circle once with each couple. At one of our dances Chris Turner called the original dance but with couples having their own figure and using the timing I have described. Whenever I tried it though it seemed a bit rushed. I added the Up a Double to the next couple and doubled all the moves so that there is much more time for people to recover and I feel the dance has a bit more to it now so that it is more fulfilling. Setting can be to your partner or to the centre of the circle. A clap at the beginning of your personal figure is recommended. There can be congestion in the middle as two couples are falling back a double, so warn people to be careful and try to get the other dancers to spread out if there is room."

John says "Instead of these figures, you can let each couple choose their own figure - anything they can fit into 16 steps. Alternatively, they could use these more modern options:
Couple 1: Balance the Ring; Petronella (spin one place to the right) x2 - then arch over that couple as you lead on to the next
Couple 2: Basket Couple
couple 3: Men Cross; Ladies Cross x2
Couple 4: Full Hey - Ladies start right shoulder Couple
Couple 5: Four changes of a circular hey (could be balance, change, change x 2)"

Charles Bolton has a similar adaptation in square set formation which can be found in his book Retreads 3
