What are collections?

Collections are a convenient way of collating various kinds of information from the Composition Library. Collections can contain methods, compositions, or a mixture of both.

With collections, you might:

  • Store your favourite methods and/or compositions, all in one place;
  • Record the methods you have rung (to quarters/peals/...) and the compositions used;
  • Create and share a series of methods and/or compositions which your band plans to ring;
  • Collate historical compositions which your society/tower/etc. has in its peal records.

Example collections

Bell News and Ringing World
These multi-volume collections contain historical compositions and methods which were published in Bell News (1881–1915) and The Ringing World (1911–present).
5152 13–23-Spliced Surprise Major (Norman Smith)
This composition collection contains a series of build-up peals in increasing numbers of methods, for bands working towards Norman Smith's all-the-work composition of 23-Spliced Surprise Major.
