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

Very cute!

For the standard 8, I thought about using 4ths/In (with Bristol between
the bobs) followed by another lead of Bristol to bring up the before.
But my searches didn't find any compositions on that plan (restricted to
equal amounts of each method).

Your 8-spliced does the job very well.

Another way of getting the same part ends, although aesthetically
questionable, is to use a 123456 single. (Why should 12-bell ringers
have all the fun?)

  10 part, calling a 123456 single at * half way and end.

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:
