[r-t] Emergency peal composition

[Mark Davies]

OK, here's a peal on Ander's plan, using the set of "little Bristol" 
methods. Here is the basic part, which produces 12 out of the 13 leads 
of each course (the maximum possible on this plan), and has four of 
those rung in reverse:

   3527496E8A0BT Bristol Little
   ABET907856342 Bristol
   BTA0E89674523 Bristol Little
   42638507T9BEA Bristol

   64820BT3A5E79	Bristol12 Little

   08T6E4927A5B3	Bristol
   AB234567890ET	Bristol

x = 18

There are various other ways of putting together such a part, but they 
all produce a peal of around 7500 changes, since the smaller little 
methods only tend to be useful for a few leads. I like this particular 
arrangement because it starts off with a big chunk of the plain course, 
and, crucially, has back rounds and the 234567890ETAB1 change in the 
"split" sections between the big bobs, meaning the former comes up at 
handstroke (the feature Ander liked) and the latter at backstroke, 
giving a wrap on rounds.

In order to get a reasonable peal length, the first six methods (up to 
the first call) can be replaced with a single lead of Bristol12 Little; 
this can be done in all but two of the parts, which can be chosen to 
maximise the time in the most exciting cyclic music, as follows:

13 part. Replace the six starred leads with one lead of Bristol12 in 
every part except 1 and 6 (or 1 and 7).
