[r-t] What's the meaning of a methodhavingaparticularfalsecoursehead

[King, Peter R]

I agree that I doubt if there are any at present. But if there are any
decent methods and they are useful for linking together blocks in
compositions then they may become useful and the issue arises.

I would also be interested to see the answer to your question about
non-symmetric section methods (by which I presume you mean that every
section is non-symmetric). I did start looking bu t I don't have the
resources or the time to do a complete search - hint, Richard.
