This dance was written as a reel but was later changed to jig time.

Here's some additional information from Atsuko Clement:

"At the time of Muriel's retiral  during Summer School, Bill made up a tune
in jig time for her.  At the same time John made a dance in reel time for
her.  Then both discovered that each made up a dance or tune.  So, they agreed
to match up the dance and tune.  Hence the original of dance was a reel,
but now it is a jig."
