Shennan, Jennifer, “Discovery of New Kellom Tomlinson Manuscript,” Dance Research Journal 22/1 (Spring 1990):58–61CrossRefGoogle Scholar; and Petre, Robert, “Six New Dances by Kellom Tomlinson: A Recently Discovered Manuscript,” Early Music 18 (August 1990):381–391.CrossRefGoogle Scholar Not all of the information in Petre's article is included in Shennan's commentary.

2. Petre refers to this change, but he misreads the notation, claiming that Tomlinson uses both the English menuet step (Feuillet's pas de menuet à la boëmienne) and the variant of that step, when in fact Tomlinson uses only the latter. (Petre, “Six New Dances,” p. 385.)

3. Although this step-unit appears frequently in English choreographies, it is not included in the English treatises of the period. In the 1701 edition of Chorégraphie Feuillet refers to this step as a “pas qui se fait comunement dans le menuet” (p. 80).
