[r-t] [Fwd: 8 Spliced]

Thu Mar 15 18:40:17 UTC 2012

I can see both points of view here.

On the one hand, a peal with a few very musical bits embedded in a sea of 
dross is not good.  Music should be spread somewhat evenly.

On the other hand, there's merit in making music more obvious by somewhat 
in-your-face placement.  A common example is that two similar roll ups 
across a dodge or a point generally sound good - one hears the first one, 
and then the second one drives the point home.  I think Philip wants to 
celebrate the beauty of this course by making it obvious to everyone that 
it is all one course.

I might be more convinced if one could structure the whole peal in a 
similar way.  How about also including the most muscial course of Bristol 
and the most musical course of Pudsey, etc, in their entirity.  (Of 
course, I really mean the most musical combination courses that are true 
against each other...).  Maybe not necessarily plain courses - perhaps 
there is a really musical bob course of Cambridge, for instance...

Of course an even better plan would be to do a similar thing with 
appropriately chosen methods.

A personal preference perhaps, but it would be nice to see it split up into at least 2 bits across a couple of parts so that indigestion doesn't occur"

The reason the 65432 course of Superlative is so good is not just that you get runs before and after every halflead and every leadend, but also that you get all the different types of runs in the same course (8765s, 7654s, 6543s, 5432s etc).  It's not like eg find 5 consecutive bobbed / singled leads of Bristol Major where you can feel a bit sickly.  Quite the opposite with Superlative mega-tittums - you need the whole course in one go to be dazzled and fully appreciate the effect.
