We’ve been joking about how it would be sooo much easier to ring Double Beryl if it had a proper coursing order (we could test the veracity of this claim by starting Double Beryl from 12346578 sometime), so I spent a while this evening fiddling with complib to make the bells in Double Beryl dodge on the front and back with their Plain Bob course and after bells.

The fewest calls I found to get to the plain bob coursing order was sV sW sV, which swaps the 5 and the 6. Then I put in WHW sH sH x3 to keep the coursing orders fairly static for the meat of the quarter and get back to rounds with another sV sW sV for a 1344. I’m sure there are more elegant and more musical compositions than this, so if you’ve got the time and the hankering for composing under this somewhat silly restriction, try to do me one better!
