These are problematical calls when the outsides are in line-like, rather than column-like, orientation. This situation arises, for example, when the starting setup is twin diamonds. The Callerlab C1 and C2 definitions state that in this case the outsides counter rotate just as they are, without first quartering in some direction. However, many high-level callers have adopted a definition that says that the outsides always quarter right (or take whatever direction is given) before counter rotating. Sd uses this formulation. To handle all the possibilities, there are 3 varieties of the call `little'---just `little', `little, ends face <DIRECTION>', and `little, ends go as you are'. Use the last one when the dancers are in diamonds and you want the outsides to counter rotate directly. Whether or not you say "ends go as you are" is up to you. The calls `little more' and `plenty' have analogous behavior.
