Manuscript concordances

This is a table of dances which appear in early manuscripts which are also published in the Dancing Master. 

I've had a version of this hanging around for some time so I thought I'd share it. The Lovelace concordances owe a lot to the early work done by Dafydd Cyhoeddwr.

In most cases you can get the tune from the Dancing Master. In a few cases I've listed a potential tune source in the Dancing Master but not a concordance because the dance is completely different.

There are almost certainly mistakes, ones I've missed, and questionable cases. If you spot any others, please let me know!

See sources for links and transcriptions.
