Assuming a Quarter-Tag

Callers sometimes wish to perform a generalized quarter-tag call (e.g., `scoot and little') from a setup in which only the center wave contains real people, and the outsides need to be assumed. For example, from an as-couples wave, one could wish to specify that the live dancers are the as-couples center wave of a quarter-tag. The way to specify this when calling is typically something like `as couples in a quarter-tag, scoot and little'.

You can do this with Sd in either of two ways. You can use the concepts with names like as couples in a 1/4 tag. These concepts exist for `1/4 tag', `1/4 line', `3/4 tag', and `3/4 line' formations, with all the usual `twosome' variations. There are no tandem variations of this.

Alternatively, you can use the as couples (or whatever) concept, followed by a suitable assume concept, such as assume general 1/4 tags or assume 1/4 tags.

For example, from an as-couples wave, you could select:

   as couples in a 1/4 tag scoot and little

or

   as couples assume 1/4 tags scoot and little

Or, from parallel waves, you could select:

   tandem assume general 1/4 tags ping-pong circulate
