Notes:

Mini-Busy can be fractionalized into thirds: EN: 40
1. Leaders Face In as Trailers 1/2 Circulate; EN: 50
2. Original Leaders Step Ahead as Very Centers Hinge; EN: 60
3. Original Leaders 1/4 In as Centers Flip The Diamond. EN: 70
The CALLERLAB definition uses Trailers As Couples Extend instead of a Trailers 1/2 Circulate. This gives different results if the starting formation is Inverted Lines (with the Centers facing In), and precludes calling the call from other formations such as Parallel Waves. EN: 80
