IANAL, and you might need one.
Seems to me there was a "meeting of the minds" at the onset - you were not quoted anything _except_ as principal, and 1st/principal can be considered ane and the same under many circumstances. In fact, I can't think of a distiction or difference ...

Which means they considered you principal for three sessions _only_ because another person was present? The music you played prior to that was exactly the same as if the 2nd were there, correct?

Not relevant at all to your payment, but probably the reason they're waffling on what they want to pay.
