A possible alternative tool for generating this sort of information is
the web hosted thingie at

   http://ringing.org/methods

On the down side compared to Method Master this alternative does not
currently do inter-method falseness, and doesn't have anything in the
way of help or explanation. However it does have the benefit, being a
web hosted gizmo, of not requiring installing anything, and working on
any platform with a web browser.

That said, I strongly urge working out at least one or two examples
yourself, by hand, at least for tenors together, in course. You'll
learn a lot more than by just looking at whatever a machine spits out.

"We arrive at what may be one of the grandest generalizations of
modern science--of which we are tempted to say that it ought to be
true even if it is not--namely, that all phenomena of the physical
universe are only different manifestations of the various modes of
motion of one all-pervading substance--the ether."
