I wrote this on r-c but (perhaps not unexpectedly) didn't get any
response there.
I had forgotten, although it is fairly obvious and presumably
well-known, that at a stage where the number of working bells is
non-prime, there will exist sets of courses which share some of the same
leads but are otherwise different. This occurs because there are
different ways of reaching the "short-course" leads (those which occur
in the course at factors of the stage number).
For example the following (treble-dominated Royal) course includes three
leadheads from the Plain Bob course, but is otherwise different:
234567890 *
089234567
756089234
423756089 *
908423756
675908423
342675908 *
890342675
567890342
234567890
Has this property ever been used, for instance in a composition of
spliced? I feel sure that the feature must be of use, and should be
exploitable in some interesting fashion.
