    Sam Whited submitted an update to the

    contracard

    package.

    Version: 3.0.0
    License: lppl1.3c

    Summary description: Generate calling cards for dances

    Announcement text: ----------------------------------------------------------------------

    The Contra Card project contains a package for typesetting
    traditional called folk dances (mostly contra dance, but it
    is also useful for square, English Country, and other
    traditional, called, dances) as well as a class for creating
    calling cards for use by dance callers.

    In version 3 of the package the common move shortcuts have been
    overhauled to make typesetting complex figures easier, and to
    allow callers to use their own preferred way of writing moves.

    In addition, new commands have been added to allow quickly
    changing the role names from the default rCLLarks/RobinsrCY
    (common in modern urban contra dance) to whatever your
    local dance scene prefers.

    This version is a major overhaul and documents written with
    an old version will likely break, please see the changelog in
    the documentation for a full list of changes.
