[r-t] Quarter Peal Bristol Major

[Philip Earis]

BellBoard is showing a rather nice quarter peal composition of Bristol Major 
by Daniel Brady that was rung yesterday 
(http://bb.ringingworld.co.uk/comp.php?id=1956378).

I think this deserves attention. The composition is a simple 2-part and 
palindrome, with calls generating music around repeated leads primarily of 
5678s, 8765s, 2468s.  Whilst for a peal composition I like the approach in 
MBD's series (http://bronze-age.com/bristol/index.html) of minimal repeated 
leads and letting the method take the strain, with the more condensed 
quarter peal restrictions I think Daniel's composition works well:

A quick search on BellBoard shows the composition was rung last summer 
(http://bb.ringingworld.co.uk/view.php?id=412867), submitted in a slightly 
different format:
