'With compositions of this type (that is, with many instances of adjacent bobs and singles, which if transposed would still result in rounds after 5040 changes, but would almost certainly be false), to ensure truth verification of the calling is desirable. As there was no umpire available, the conductor is grateful to the composer for undertaking this task using a recording of the performance.'
