Warning: The figures for each dance is generated programmatically by regular expression matching and may be in error. Also, for old dances, they reflect the figures used by the interpreter which may not match those of the deviser.
Bars: 2.
A turn single is turning in a small circle (about the size of a pizza) by yourself. You end up where you started. In a turn single cloverleaf you turn away from the center of your duple minor set.
Playford mostly just says "turn single", modern interpreters have chosen to interpret this sometimes as a cloverleaf.
