If you are able to supply details of any compositions not included please email me at rrhorton at btinternet dot com
Please note that most of these compositions have been copied from John's own manuscripts. I have included John's notes and comments wherever these have been available. Some Royal methods which were unrung when John composed the peal have now been rung, in these cases the method name has been updated accordingly.
You should independently verify the truth of any composition before ringing it - Roddy.
When the postman delivered my copy of Composition 502, I spent a happy half hour thumbing through it to see what was new in the world of composition. In this book, the section on Spliced Minor includes a good number of arrangements using three and six lead splices; but one of the extents by Andrew Tyler demonstrates a splice which, as far as I am aware, has not been used or documented before. This extent is shown in Figure 1 and allows 32 Surprise methods "from the book" to be rung in seven extents, the previous maximum being 31.

3 part extent.
("From the book" implies methods from the 1965 Collection of Minor Methods; that is,
no single change methods, irregular methods, or methods with fifths place made above
the treble). In this extent, the three blocks of five leads of Newcastle are a course
splice for Chester, but the Alnwick and Sandiacre are introduced by a new splice,
which could be called a "three lead cross splice". This splice can be described in
words as follows:
All of the central eight rows in
The three leads of plus The three leads of
Chester with 6 as pivot Chester with 5 as pivot
and 5 as seconds or and 6 as seconds or
thirds place bell thirds place bell
can be rearranged to form all of the
central eight rows in
The three leads of plus The three leads of
Alnwick with 56 fixed Sandiacre with 56 fixed
in 2-6 in 3-6
Figure 2 shows these rows in skeleton form. The left hand two blocks represent the
central eight rows of three leads of Chester: these rows can be shuffled as shown
by the letters to form the centre part of three leads of Sandiacre and three leads
of Alnwick.

A moment's thought suggests that if the available sixths place methods (Wooler,
Canterbury, Morpeth) could be added to the extent in Figure 1, then the resulting
eight method extent could be used to ring 34 Surprise methods in seven extents.
Although these 34 have been rung together in a peal, previously it had only been by
using a 1440. These eight methods can be arranged into one extent and it is shown in
Figure 3. This extent also makes it unnecessary to ring Wooler in with Carlisle,
Northumberland and Whitley.

The same splice can be used to combine Beverley, Bourne and York; and Figure 4
shows how this basic splice can be extended to 10 Surprise methods. The base
method is Beverley: the three lead cross splice is used twice - with 56 fixed
to introduce Bourne and York, then with 24 fixed to include Bourne and Durham.
This leaves all six leads with the 3 as thirds place bell available to be
changed to Cambridge. Adding Surfleet as a lead splice for Beverley and also
all of the available sixths place variations, gives the extent in 10 methods.

By including Delight methods, a further arrangement is possible, which includes
one extra method. If either York or Durham is omitted, another block of six
leads become available to add in Burslem and Waltham Delight. Also, the Bourne
and Hull used in the three lead cross splice can be replaced by Kirkstall and
London Victory (as the bells in 3-5 do the same work). This gives an 11 method
extent and is shown in Figure 5.

The extent with carlisle above the treble can also in theory be rearranged to
include 11 methods. Using Chester as the base method, Alnwick and Sandiacre
can be added with one pair of fixed bells and Newcastle and Tewkesbury can be
included with another pair of fixed bells. This will leave the remaining bell
available to six-lead splice Carlisle into the extent. However, to include a
plain lead of all of the seconds and sixths place variants has so far eluded
me, although I am still at work with pencil, paper and perseverance!

3 part extent, but ringing Wooler in place of Evesham and Sandiacre in place
of Tewkesbury in the last part.
The arrangements given as Figures 4 and 5 allow for 79 methods "from the book"
to be rung in seven extents, rather than the previous maximum of 74 methods.
This can also be achieved if the extent given as Figure 6 is rung in place
of that in Figure 4. Figure 6 is a grid splice of Fountains, Tewkesbury and
Tintern; with Sandiacre added as a three lead splice with 54 and 56 fixed: all
of the 6ths place variations are available and are included.

The composition comprises 30 courses which have the tenors together, are in
course, and are true to group B; to which 30 courses are added with the tenors
split. The first 30 courses cannot be joined into a round block: the best
option here is the "29 course block" which is shown. In this, the calling
positions 2, 5, and 7 correspond with wrong , middle, and home repectively.
The missing true course is that headed by 3542678.
The 29 course block itself is two fifteen course round blocks combined. The
first round block is 2 wrongs and 2 middles, repeated to give a 5-part block.
The second block is wrong, middle, and three homes, repeated to give a 5-part
block. These two blocks are joined by omitting three wrongs - this
unfortunately causes one of the true courses to be omitted.

The tenors-split courses are inserted into the 29 course block by using
singles in 56 - these swap over two bells separated in the coursing order by
two other bells.
eg coursing order ..B.87.A..
will give ..7.8B.A.. (Call S with 8 in 7-8 up)
or ..B.A7.8.. (Call S with 7 in 7-8 down)
The first of these calls corresponds with a wrong for the tenor, hence all
calls at the second lead of the course are wrong for the tenor. The second of
these calls would correspond with a middle, but the tenor is affected by the
call, and hence rings in fifths place at backstroke. The call corresponding
to this has the tenor making 6ths.
Blocks are inserted in two places. In the first section of the 29 course
block the second bob at middle is replaced by a block of single-bob-single:
into this is added a further course by calling two singles while the 7 makes
seconds - these are the calls at the sixth lead of the course. In the second
part of the 29 course block, 2 singles at wrong are inserted into the third
course of the three course blocks, then two further courses are added by three
bobs at 4, where the tenor is in 5-6 up (V), and the 7 is in 7-8 down.
The remaining true course (headed by 3542678) is now inserted into the last
block by using two more singles at wrong.
The 60 courses which are used are true to FCH groups B, D and c (although not
to the tenors-parted groups X, Y and Z). For Chiltern, only the truth
with respect to groups B and c is used. The courses can also be rung to
Yorkshire or Cassiobury (of the commonly rung methods), although the
composition needs considerable rearrangement.

Most courses have alternative callings, as follows:-
Any course A can be called 6s, 15: either course C can be called 1, 6s, 15:
either course H can be called 2, 6s, 15: and all of these may be interchanged
freely irrespective of the calling of any other course.
The F course can be called 6s, 15 but the substitution must be made in both
parts.
The E courses can be called 6s, 15 but all four substitutions must be made.
The two B courses can be called 1s, 6s, 15 in either part (but see below).
The two D courses can be called 6, 15; provided that both courses are changed
and also that the alternative calling is used for both B courses as above.
(but see below).
The two G courses can be called 6s, 15, provided that both courses are changed
and the alternative calling is used for both D courses, and hence for both B
courses.
If the alternative calling is used for the courses which originally were (b),
the length of the peal is reduced by 12 changes for each substitution made.
The fully substituted peal is shown as an example.
Notes on the 5088 Stedman Caters by John R. Leary
-------------------------------------------------
I had been fascinated by this Stedman stuff for quite a while, but because of
not being able to ring it, let alone call it, I had managed to leave it well
alone. However, an eminent ringer who lives in Brighton took me on one side,
explained the difference between a whole turn and Yorkshire places, and
pointed out what could be done at the half course. So I decided to try it for
myself, and not be a staid man any longer.
My ideas at the start of the composition were:
1. To try and develop a peal which had alternative callings, so that each
course would have a simple version, and a musical version.
2. To minimise turning courses as much as possible: by using the simplest
calling possible to achieve the reuqired change to the positions of the
back bells; or by trying to use the half course as a turning course.
3. To obtain a regular two-part composition.
4. To try to utilise as much as possible of the eight courses available with
the back bells fixed in any particular position. The point here is that
if the peal is of the style (turning course) (three further courses)
(turning course) etc, then although all of the eight course heads are
produced in a two part peal, any internal music is only generated in the
courses which are not turning courses; that is, in six out of the eight
courses.
The peal fulfils most of these requirements. The bells start in the hand-
stroke home position, meaning that the start has to be at backstroke in a slow
six. This does mean that the first three -456789's tend to be a bit choppy as
the band settles into changes, but ensures that all 24 -56789's can be rung in
an exact two-part composition. The first course is the "simple calling" of
6s, 15, with an added single at 8 to swap 2 and 3 to achieve the two part
calling. The remainder of the handstroke block is rung with a variant of
Stephen Wood's calling to get -9876 at the 11th six; substituting 4s for the
bobs at 4, 5 in his course gives the required transposition of the little
bells, and substituting 9s, 14s for bobs at 8, 9, 14, 15 preserves the truth
of this block against the Whittington block.
A single at 1 leads to the 65789 position, and four courses with a calling
which gives 975x68 at the 10th six. From here, a bob at 1 leads into the 65
tittums position, and four courses with 597x68 at the 10th six. The intention
at the end of this block was to turn the back bells into the Whittington
position, but I couldn't find a simple enough turning course. To make a
virtue of necessity, 4 and 5 are swapped during the last course of this block
giving a 64978 course head, with the following six bringing up -457689. From
here, half a course called 5, 8, 10s leads to the Whittington position.
I'm not sure who first designed the course used for the Whittington block (I
first heard of it from David House), but it is very musical, giving a tittums
course head halfway through each course. In the fourth course in this
position, extra calls at 9 and 10 prepare the back bells for a block in the
-86579 position. I haven't seen this used before, but it has good potential.
The first six has a pleasing 78950 combination, and the single at 2 gives a
near tittums sound in the second six. Bobs at 6 and 8 bring the back four
bells into the backstroke home position in the 9th six, and the bob at 10 lets
them leave this in the tittums position.
The last virtue of -86579 is that a bob at 2 leads directly into the 56
tittums position, with a calling which gives -8765 at the 9th six. The last
course, fairly short, returns once more to handstroke home, for the second
half of the peal.
All but four of the courses have the little bells transposed by 2413; and for
all of these the callings described above can be changed into 6s, 15. This
calling leaves all of the back five bells unaffected. Note that some of the
possible combinations of callings are not true: these are specified at the end
of the composition. The fully simplified peal is true, and is shown as an
example.

The review in Which Method reads " John Leary's composition seeks out the musical front bell positions, then preserves them for longer than usual by splitting the tenors to turn backwards roll-ups into forward ones. The 4th course is well chosen to contain "incidental" frontwork and backword roll-ups, including "back rounds", while the diversion towards the end features some 78906s, as well as some more front bell music. Method and composition are an excellent fit for each."
