An alternative ending (5056) to this composition is to call the final course 2M,S4,SB,B,2H; this can be reduced to 5024 by calling 4,I instead of S4,I,SB in 53462 to avoid the use of 3 consecutive calls. This version has 15 8765s, 18 8756s, 10 6578s off the front but the music is otherwise the same (4 less 2345s in 5024).

Any choice of a or c may be made giving lengths between 5056 and 5248.
Music (5120, a2/c2): 95 crus, inc 24 56s & 65s, 21 46s, 24 8765s, 16 7568s, 98 LB4 inc 24 3456s
Off front: 17 8765s, 15 8756s, 11 6578s, 9 5678s, 76 LB4
This is a variation of the previous composition giving 7568s instead of 7865s. The extra calls at `a' add 6543s, those at `c' add 7568s, a2/c2 maximises the number of runs, both front and back, without resorting to more than 3 consecutive calls.
