[r-t] 23 Spliced Treble Dodging Major (all the runs)

[Robert Lee]

Many congratulations, Alan.
 
It would be very easy, when performing a 'cold review' of such a composition, to nitpick
at the method choice, but the sheer difficulty involved in producing it needs to be taken
into account. Perhaps such a composition might just exist leaning towards more standard 
methods, but this would be in the realms of someone with some very powerful software and/or 
a lot of time.
 
I'll put my composition on here in September when it's been attempted, after which point anyone 
who's so inclined can have a go at it.
 
How about an 8 part palindromic composition of spliced, including the treble, to obtain all 480 4-bell runs? 
That really would be euphoria. Here's a template to start us off.....

>One final thing. In order to try and "raise the bar" slightly higher I came

>Method-2: l 36.5.36.4-2-6-2-3-36-3
>Method-6: e 5-5.4.5-5.6-4-45-2-3
>Method-7: k -34.5.4-25-36-4-5-2-3
>Method-10: e 345-34.1-56-1.34.2-3-36-1
>Method-16: j -3-4-2-6-2-45-4-7
>Method-18: g 34.5.36.4-56-1-2-3.4.56-7
