Yes.  Ring the composition backwards.  Here's a slightly
transposed version of it backwards.

  5040 Double Norwich Court Bob Major

  15 part

  ss at * in parts 4, 9 and 14

The calling positions mean as follows:

  F = 3 and 3 1/2 (tenor becomes 4ths place bell at 3)
  V = 4 and 4 1/2 (tenor becomes 5ths place bell at 4)
  O = 6 and 6 1/2 (tenor becomes 3rds place bell at 6)

As with the previous composition, the tenor is unaffected
throughout.  To get a composition that is predominately
bobs, it is necessary to have quite a lot of the composition
with split tenors.  This is because there is only one
calling position (for bobs) per course that keep the tenors
together.
