In the top half of the table, each row shows the effect of using various
calls for one method. A Minster Extreme is the standard call for each method,
then the other calls give different variations. What you do at a call is
shown in the lower half; read the set of work in the column below your
variation.
For instance, Xylopia is Cathedral, rung with a
Grandsire Extreme. At an extreme, the bell about to make seconds would be
unaffected.

Cathedral, on which all these variations are based.
