Sorry, i was clearly giving the current decisions more credit than they deserve. Either way, i can't see a good reason to disallow the triples and major.

So the Cinques parts are counted as Max, i don't see how this is a methods thing as Stedman Cinques (on it's own) would presumably be counted as Cinques and not Max. Just for clarification: if you were to splice Bristol Royal in with the Cinques and Max, it would still all be counted as Max (and proved all together), but if you added in 720 true changes of Minor then they could be counted as Minor and so those rows could be repeated in the Cinques/Max?
