Calling Notes:

Needs a shift left at top of A1 to progress.

Author's note on the modified contra corners: "The contra corners is basically a regular contra corners, but on the sides, instead of turning 1 time round to send the 1s back in, you turn 1/2 (or 1 1/2, I need to experiment with the timing) to send whoever was on the side into the center. After the second turn on the side the couple who meets each other in the center just pull by and turns to face in."
It finishes with everyone having shifted two places ccw around the major set, facing shadow S2.
