Stats for nerds

There is a significant increase of repertoire introduced in Prep B, Grades 9 and 10 selection compared to the 2015 syllabus, with the other grades having minor adjustments. In the grades covered in this post, there are 2417 pieces listed in 2022 Syllabus vs 2121 pieces in the older 2015 syllabus. This comparison chart has some limitations:

ARCT and LRCM pieces are not covered (will be in another post)
Popular Selections are not included due to the ever-changing list, and that 2022 Popular Selections has not been released yet
List repertoire where the piece is listed, but the required movements/selections within the piece has changed may be double-counted (but this scenario is extremely low)
