that's what I thought, hence the format as per orpheus ie  alternating
a double  and a single .
 Philip actually did say "by the addition of a single change between
alternate rows" which I take to mean alternate one double & one single
change,or as F.S says (p.119 Campanalogia) :" One change is double,
the next single, and so by turns.".
following his actual crambo (p.117 of Campanalogia, he says: "the
changes are all single" but as you say, this being the case then all
neg rows will be at back and all pos rows at hand.
so to get all changes of a 120 at both hand & back,Orpheus works but
crambo doesn't
