[SCA-Dance] Halfe Hannikin

[Tim McDaniel]

I took the Halfe Hannikin on the blue Musica Subterranea and sliced it
up.  (<unix>With sox, which is rather like editing /dev/kmem with
ed.</unix>) Fortunately, the music doesn't flow continuously -- they
did almost a rest at the end of each phrase.  So it actually sounds OK
to me when sliced and rejoined.

Did you try turning counter-clockwise?  If so, does one flow better
than the other, or is there a reason to prefer one over the other?
