Duco's place notation format.
Q. I need some help understanding Duco's place notation format.
A. OK, first here are a few examples:
Plain Bob Major: &x18x18x18x18-12
Grandsire Caters: 3.1.9.1.9.1.9.1.9.1.9.1.9.1.9.1.9.1
Bristol Surprise Maximus: &x5Tx14.5Tx5T.36.14x7T.58.16x9T.70.18x18.9Tx18x1T-1T
| Summary of characters used in Place Notation | |
|---|---|
| & | Symmetry indicator |
| x | Cross (all bells swap) |
| . | Seperator |
| - | Seperator between most of the notation and the lead end notation |
| 1-0 | Bells 1 to 10. |
| E | Eleventh bell |
| T | Twelfth bell |
| A | Thirteenth bell |
| B | Fourteenth bell |
| C | Fifteenth bell |
| D | Sixteenth bell |
If you miss out some of the characters e.g. "x6x", Duco will add the missing characters: "x16x"
