As the extent of Major and above is rarely required, it is not
generally necessary to splice Alliance methods to get the desired
length. Also, it is not always a Little method that is required to
balance the treble's path. For example, an Alliance Minor method that
had single dodging in 1-2 and 5-6, but not 3-4, could be spliced with
another Alliance method with dodging in 3-4, and hunting in 1-2 and
5-6.
