MINICRIB

-----------------------------------------------------------------------

General Information

MINICRIB is a simple database of brief notes covering  over many Scottish Country Dances which enables "Cribsheets" to be quickly produced for most dance programs.  These Sheets will refresh your memory immediately before each dance.  Maybe you will never meet some of the dances listed but who knows what your next Dance Program will include!

The notes are contained in a Microsoft "Word" template which can be placed on the Desktop and simply double click on the Icon to enter the program.  This program does not work with other word processors (including Microsoft 'Works')

Each new version includes all entries contained in previous issues with corrections and many additions.  The new version does not overwrite the older versions. 

There is a Standard version for use with Word 97 (& Higher) which allows quick assembly of crib sheets.  A new Advanced version for use with Word 2000 (& higher) is also available containing many macros, that will help speed the preparation of crib sheets and also provides a detailed searching facility.  Click the Standard or Advanced button below.

An Alphabetical version is also available as a Microsoft Document (.doc) 350 pages long, but can be read by most other word processors.  Click the Standard button below.

Although these notes are copyright there is no claim to the copyright of any dance as each dance is already the copyright of another.  It is hoped that the many devisers of the dances listed, will not be offended by the brevity of the notes but will appreciate their usefulness as an aid to dancing.  If you require more information about the Deviser, Publication or available Recordings of any dance the Alan Patterson's database at www.scottap.com/dancedata/ will be of assistance.

The notes are available FREE but in return please leave the MINICRIB footnote that appears on each sheet!  It is hoped that Scottish Country dancers everywhere will find the notes of great use, but please let me know if you see an error.  

Happy dancing to all!
