The direction of the crescents shows the direction that the dancers are facing and should be preserved.

For score syntax, see page 182 of the 1686 edition.
It is tricky to impossible to transcribe some features of these scores accurately. See the first edition talk page for details and tips.
There are more scans of this and later editions at https://imslp.org/wiki/The_Dancing_Master_(Playford,_John). Content in successive editions overlaps heavily; copying content, for instance from Index:IMSLP278935-PMLP144608-the dancing master10.pdf, may save a lot of effort retyping things.
