This is quite an interesting composition which could easily be overlooked:
http://bb.ringingworld.co.uk/comp.php?id=2252289

The basic idea is simply enough (it's effectively spliced Reverse Bob and
Crayford turned upside down) - but allows for a lot of music to be packed
in by missing out chunks of the course without music.
In this case all 384 4-bell runs front/back (excluding the treble) are
combined with 144 crus in an interesting mix of the modern and the
traditional.
Creating space for crus won't be to more modern tastes but there'd be
plenty of scope to adapt the plan to include other types of music instead
(2468's, 7568's, other combo's of 5678 etc).

I just like the idea of packing in music on top of the 384 - and it's nice
to see it done with such a simple method / concept.

Cheers,
Alan
