[r-t] ringing-theory Digest, Vol 86, Issue 5

[Thomas Perrins]

A very neat composition indeed! I think it is near enough impossible to create a composition of the standard 8 on such a plan without making some form of method changes between adjacent parts (given that Bristol is the only method in which a Before can be placed without altering course length) - certainly the Nottingham 8 lends itself better to such a construction. While on the topic of 10 parts, my original 10-part on this plan was for 4 double methods (Ashtead, Bristol, Buckfastleigh (K), Superlative); I just liked these methods and was bored at uni so came up with:

23456 B H Methods
42356 * - KBA.
54263 - 2 A.SS.KBA.
65432 - 2 KB.SS.KBA.

10 Part, calling b at * in alternate parts. 1,280 of each method.
Certainly very boring for the tenors though!
