[r-t] Infinite Extension

[Alan Reading]

Is this example interesting then?

View Smallbrook S12 as an extension of Bristol S Major*, and you can
continue the pattern to any stage divisble by 4. The p.n. for 16 bell
version is:
-5-4.5-5.36.4.9.4.58.9.4.9.70.8.A.8.9T.A.8.A.EB.T-T.A-T-1.LH.1
(which happens to have a 5 lead course but has plain bob lead heads).
Here the pivot bells go 2,3,5... but that's only on every other stage so in
a sense it proggresses at half the rate that the classic extension of
Bristol does.


*I've no idea if this is CC compliant but it's clear the methods form a
family.

Cheers,
Alan
