[r-t] Orpheus

A b-block will give you half the rows with a given pair behind - but 
calling a single runs false against the same block.

The Wylde/Johnson magic blocks should work, giving an odd number of 
blocks, but I don't think there is sufficient room for manoeuvre to join 
them with omits only. Thus I think non-Stedman singles are required.

Anything based on a fixed-course plan will have a course-length that is 
a multiple of 24, so the number of courses is a factor of 210. A 21-part 
  seems the obvious solution - maybe RBG can modify his software?
