In the top half of the table, each row shows the effect of using various
calls for one method. A Shipway Plain 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, Shelford Parva is Morning Star, rung
with a Reverse Canterbury Plain. At a call, the bell about to make long
3rds would do 3-4 places up (3rds and 4ths). NB this variation was first
rung and named (as you might guess!) at Little Shelford.
