[r-t] Ten parts of eight spliced

[Thomas Perrins]

I'm liking the 16/123456 calls for the standard 8, yet for those uneasy with the special calls there is likely to be a way of joining the two 5-part blocks up using ordinary calls - this is probably rather difficult for the five 2-part block compositions though. Something similar to this below might work:
 
5,120 Pitman's Four
TMP
 
23456 B M W H
45326     s -* BS.L
36524   s   -  L.BS.
25634     s s  BC.L.
62345 - -   -^ CS.BCS.LC.
Repeat 10 times.
Call s for -^ in part 5 and continue from -*
Call s for -* in part 10 for rounds immediately. 
1280 each method, atw for front 6.
 
Certainly there have been numerous other comps on this (or similar) double 5 part plans, however I think there are probably going to be more new comps out there to be found based on a quintuple 2-part plan (i.e. adding a Before or equivalent in alternate parts).

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!
