[r-t] Tittums

[Philip Earis]

Absolutely gorgeous Alex, but you seem to have forgotten one thing - mega 
tittums! A huge shame, as this is the surely best coursing order when you've 
got the back bells coursing. I also think your composition could do with a 
bit more conventional music too.

Here's how I tried to rearrange it. Calling positions just refer to bells 
2-6 when the tenors are not home.

First attempt: 6096 Bristol Maximus

The first block is used to get to the 65432 coursing order before applying 
the turning course to get the back bells into the tittums position. As with 
Alex's composition, you get the whole plain course to start. Here, all but 
three leads of the opening block are in runs courses. I think the balance is 
a bit better too:

64 leads home
22 leads tittums
27 leads rev-6

Only slight problem is that it's a bit longer then people normally ring. 
It's not difficult to shorten though, producing the incredibly beautiful 
baby below. Why would anyone possibly want to ring anything else?!  Blimey, 
the excitement is back...

Attempt 2: 5040 (5376) Bristol Maximus

(For 5376 call last course psppsppb then a bob home to bring up rounds).


I've also got an alternative which comes round at the snap after the wrong, 
and contains the whole 64235 course near the end when the tenors are back 
together, but that will have to wait....
