Yuk! Why not have multiple calls at the half-lead as well to mop up the 
music off the front? Personally I would ban more than two consecutive 
calls in Mx methods.

With this prejudice, I have restricted myself to two isolated singles:

1280
23456  M  B  W  H
-----  ----------
34256           2
43625    F/I s
24356     -     2
45263     -
23456  s F/I
-----  ----------
100 4-bell runs (nearly all 5678/8765 or 2345/5432)
A palindrome

1344
23456   M F B V H
-----   ---------
372546      - -
32456   2 - -   s
-----   ---------
Repeat
96 4-bell runs

1344
23456   M  B  V  W  H
-----   -------------
372546     -  -
26453   s     2  -  -
35462   -        -  -
23456   - F/I       s
-----   -------------
104 4-bell runs (a greater variety, including 3456/6543 front and back)

or, if you must:

1440
23456  M     W H
-----  ---------
52436        -
372546 - I/O
45263  5 V,V
23456    F/I   5
-----  ---------
5=--s--
122 4-bell runs
