<p><font face="sans-serif" size="4"> '''CROSS REEL(, DA)'''. AKA and see "[[Cross Rig]]," "[[General Howe]]," "[[Lasses of Stewarton]]/[[Lassies of Stewarton (The)]]." Shetland, Reel. D Major/G Major. Standard tuning (fiddle). AABCDAA (Brody): AABB (Anderson). According to Cooke (1986) the tune is a cousin to the Scottish tune "[[Lasses of Stewarton]]" (Stewartown, Stewingtown) {also the name of a country dance first published c. 1794}, though the Shetland versions are usually asymmetrical and the Scottish not. "One Shetland version is shown in Ex. 12 and it is likely that it is derived from the Scottish tune but that fiddlers and dancers modified it in early days so that it fitted their preference for asymmetrical structures. The tune was danced in Whalsay (the tune is also known on that island as "General Howe") during this century, where I was told that to perform it they had to do a 'double dancing turn' (i.e. dance for twice as long)" (Cooke, 1986). <br> <br> ''Source for notated versions'': Tom Anderson (Shetland) [Brody], Bobbie Peterson (Tingwall Mainland, Shetland) [Cooke]. <br> <br> ''Printed sources:'' Anderson ('''Ringing Strings'''), 1983, p. 61.
