Yes, I should have made the assumptions clear:

- fixed treble (this is the basis for identifying the lead heads of 
leads that contain rows with the treble in 6th place)

- no half lead singles (this is the basis for saying that within a given 
lead, all of the rows with the treble in 6th place have the same parity).

Richard has already given a composition with variable treble.

I imagine that it might be possible to use, let's say, a 3456 half lead 
single, and produce 30 leads, each containing a half lead single, which 
between them contain all 720 changes. Then maybe it would be possible to 
insert these 30 leads into a 6-extent block, and produce a 5040.
