Wow! Impressive work there, and a very swift turnaround as well.

But as for peal compositions which have calls everywhere except the lead
head/end, I've heard of a few compositions in a particular method. Quite an
ancient method, and probably not likely to be rung much today, due to
irregular lead heads/ends and little music in the plain course. Anyway, the
method is called Stedman.
