[r-t] Storme minor

[Philip Earis]

It would be good to get the focus of this list back on to ringing, rather than pointless obsolete "decisions".

To this end, it's worth highlighting Storme Minor (&1.34.5.4.3.4, le 34), which was rung for the first time last week (http://www.campanophile.com/view.aspx?107741)

Storme is a very neat Stedman-esque method from the Holroyd stable, with bells alternately going in "quick" and "slow" with the Stedman frontwork. The backwork has a simple motif, with a hunt-bell plain hunting between 4ths and 6ths.

See the blue line here:

The method has the very rare property of producing an in-course half-extent. (There are some plain methods with this property, eg Dunelm Bob, but I strongly suspect Storme is the first that only has 2 consecutive blows in the plain course - let me know if I've overlooked something obvious)

The composition we rang was:

bob=5, single=x.
720: -pppp-; 10 part; s for - half way and end.

You can of course also ring a single as 3456, which I think is possibly conceptually neater.
