The Method EditorAlthough there are 20,000 methods easily accessible from the CCCBR method collection, you can also add new and edit existing methods. Editing is intuitive, using place notation or bell numbers, and you can also create new methods using the blue line, or type or paste in the notation in a variety of formats. You can have calls at any row and multiple calls (eg. Erin, Stedman, Carter), and you can use a variant of place notation which includes x in doubles. Voices can be selected for both methods and calls, allowing, for example, Grandsire Single when ringing April Day. Screen Shot 1the listing shows the place notation, down the left, with the changes in the middle and the call events on the right. You can edit by place notation, bell numbers or both and the method listing is updated automatically with every key-press. | |
|
If you tick a call event, you can enter
a Bob, Single, Omit and/or Extreme, any one of which can be substituted
with another wording and another voice.
Also shown are
the Lead Head, Underline Block Separators and Coursing Order options for use when listing touches and printing.
The lead/event head positions and underlines are also indicated with the listing. |
 |
You can easily create new methods, even if all you have is the blue line,
or you can directly type or paste in the place notation in a variety of formats.
Screen Shot 2shows entry using the blue line. |

The Calls and Calling Positions EditorUp to 5 rows can be affected at calls. You can edit the calls and the calling positions basis with CompLib or Old Syntax for most methods, and Event Count for Stedman, Grandsire and the like. The position names are automatic, including in and out of the hunt in Grandsire, but you can also add position names, and have as many as you like for each call. And you can add unaffected positions as well. Event Count Basis does not use positions, but allows alternative syntax for the likes of mixed doubles. | |
Screen Shot 3:In this shot, all positions are the defaults. Any additions would be underlined but the ~ indicates a long name (makeit in this case, for Single there is also mksgl).The event can be selected for Erin at row 1, or where there are multiple call events, such as in Stedman, where calls can be made every 6 changes, or Carter, where they come after 8s and 4s. |
