[r-t] Muppet Show S Major

[Alexander Holroyd]

Good stuff.

So how about a TD Royal or Maximus method that gives lots of 6-bell runs 
in the corresponding course (the one with all bells coursing in order)? 
That would seem to give more scope for prolonging the music by small 
variations on that course...
