			Combine some of the measures in a non-proscribed way. For example, paste the measures together in reverse order. What does the music sound like?

	Examine the musical key of each individual measure in the composition. In particular, choose a row from the A or B columns and measure the key in each measure listed on that row.

Create a set of realized contradances, then identify the musical key of the dance by using the Humdrum command "key", or the Humdrum Extras command "keycor".
