Why not! What then, for example, is the maximum number of changes to a quarter peal before it becomes a half peal or a long length?

  "At the far stretch of the imagination there are no 'set rules' for quarter peals. The CC give guidelines for peals and as far as I know these can not be recognised rung on three bells. However they are recorded (but not since 1961) but not counted in my analysis. However repeated quarters on 3 can lead to an augmentation."



  I cannot see that the rules for peals are really relevant - they do not apply to quarters.



  I maintain my original point that counting an augmentation from 3 as a new ring is wrong - there is no reason to treat them any differently to, say 4 to 5 or 5 to 6 augmentations. Although most ringers and territorial associations take no interest in lower numbers (except in occasional fits of control-freakery), they are still rings of bells.
