[r-t] Compositions on BellBoard

[Roddy Horton]

Personally I use software which outputs the composition in text format and then I paste this into Campanophile which then gets 
copied across to the Bellboard.

So whilst facility may be of interest to those who use Microsiril, that excluded me I'm afraid.
