>Good point. I think in fact I was ignoring the 1234/4321, at least at

>I think by virtue of having so many 5678 combinations. However, that 
>makes it more of a back-bell composition in my book; it doesn't have so 
>many 2345 or 3456. Still very impressive, mind - in fact an awesome set

>I still prefer the 5024, though. It's more in the spirit of what I was 
>after - squeezing the most music you can out of the tenors-together 
>courses, with the minimum amount of split tenors.
