Thread Name: Waltz tunes with no repeats
Subject: Waltz tunes with no repeats
In the session/band which I'm rather loosely involved with, we tend to pair The Shepherd's Wife with The Man in the Moon, and the Cumberland Waltz with the Westmorland ditto.

I'm currently mostly practising without music, and I can never remember which ones have repeats and which are straight through. On checking I found that we play TSW and Cumberland straight through - but I also found that other people play Cumberland with repeats.

What do tune-players here do with those two tunes? And are there many other straight-through waltz tunes I need to watch out for? (Among the relative standards, that is - I'm sure there are a lot of straight-through waltz tunes out there, along with a lot of every other kind of tune.)
