The attached document might (just possibly) be of interest here.  It describes a process for extracting the complete falseness at the lead level for a treble dodging major method, which with practice can be carried out with pencil and paper in about 10 minutes.
The process expresses falseness in terms of false coursing orders rather than course heads, because that is what I prefer to work with when composing.  Do any other composers on the list use FCOs instead of FCHs?
