> What is frustrating is that the falseness of Cambridge is substantially
reduced if you have a pair fixed in the 3-4 position and miss out the leads
where either of the pair is thirds place bell, by making them both make the
bob, giving a 6 lead course. You can produce highly structured and long
compositions like, that such as the 10368 rung on handbells as part of the
Cambridge four long lengths in a day (
https://bb.ringingworld.co.uk/comp.php?id=838). The problem is that to ring
3-4 as that fixed pair you have to get into and out of rounds, and that is
the very lead that you have to miss out!

Thinking about this further, perhaps you can let 3 & 4 come home
occasionally and still keep it true. Working on that basis, I have come up
with this, which seems a lot more manageable.
