Section 1
This section rotates the set one place. It must therefore be done three times to return everyone to their original place.

2 dR Turning 360° over his right shoulder

4:8:17-19 8 sL sR Think of the set as an arc defining a circle. In the scempi turn roughly towards the other two people, and back away from them to the center of the defined circle. In the passetti, walk forwards to the lady.

4:8:19-21 10 RL RL Holding hands during the reerenza, but letting go immediately afterwards
4:8:21-22 11 sL sR returning to the center

4:8:23-24 13 RL RL again, holding hands during the reverenza only
4:8:24-25 14 sL sR Back towards the center of the circle defined by the arc of the set with the scempi, and forwards to become the new third person with the passetti.

Hay in 5 trapassini and a passo. This works out to exactly one trapassino (or passo) per switch.

The text does not say to hold hands here (it often does for treccie), but it doesn't say not to either.

Section 2
All of section 2 is done in unison. At least the first few steps are done in a circle - possibly the whole section.
5:9:12-13 58 cL cR
59 ½rL ½rR vLR Taken together, these two measures form a volta di Lasso.
5:9:14-15 60 PL PR tL "Then they go in a circle straight towards [or back from] one another two passi, one trapassino, and three passi. Needless to say, this is somewhat ambiguous
61 PR PL PR
5:9:15-16 62 rL

The four riprese here are all specified as "riprese lunge" ("slow riprese") We suggest facing into the center of the set, again circling around.

Note: two left then two right
63 rL
64 rR
65 rR
5:9:16-17 66 cL cR
67 ½rL ½rR vLR Just says "the volta"; however, the obvious parallel with measures 58-60 might indicate that this volta is also a volta di Lasso.
