[r-t] Rules (was A date to pencil into your calendar)

[Frederick Karl Kepner DuPuy]

Incidentally, a somewhat minor point:

Given how anarchic this document is in other ways, I'm a bit surprised at
how timidly conservative it is when it comes to multi-stage 'standard
performances'. (See section K.9.) Why shouldn't people ring minor and
major? Or, indeed, minor, triples, and major?
