Yes, I found plenty of those.  I'll try to find a good one.

Actually, although I only quoted CRUs, the search was also designed to 
look for runs of 4 and 5 off the front or back and other musical rows 
like 2468s and 7568s.  This composition got the best overall score of 
those searched.  There happen to be 33 'run' rows which I don't think is 
bad considering the methods.
