Trouble is, "method" does double duty as a general term, and the sort of methods that aren't principles or differentials. (So there are methods that are prinicples and methods that are methods...hmmm...). 
Going back to original point: I would never refer to jump changes as "change ringing". Colloquial usage does vary, which actually re-enforces your point about having a proper term, whatever it might be.
