There are Foursome, Eightsome and Twelvesome Reels, which involve exchanges of partners between two, four or six couples. 512 is eight cubed, so presumably it’s more complicated, but basically the same. “The Devil Among The Lawyers” is possibly a reference to Burns’ “The Deil’s Awa’ Wi’ The Exciseman”, or to ‘The Devil Among The Tailors’, a well-known folk-dance tune (which is in fact, I’m told, the original tune for an Eightsome Reel).
