method ID NAME [NBELLS]
method ID NAME NBELLS PLAINLEAD [CALLPOS BOB SINGLE]
The method command has two forms; the first for retrieving a method from the CRE method library and the second for explicitly defining a method from place notation
The first form is for using a method from the library. The method may be identified either by using the full name e.g. "Plain Bob Minor" or by specifying the root name e.g. "Plain Bob" and the number of bells as an additional argument. For example:
CRE> method pb5 "Plain Bob Minor"
or
CRE> method pb5 "Plain Bob" 6
It is possible to use wildcards in the method name (? represents a single character and * any number of characters; for example
CRE> method pb5 "pla*bob" 6
will find Plain Bob Minor, provided there isn't another method that matches this pattern, such as "Plane Bob"
The second form is for defining a method from place notation; for example to define Plain Bob Minor (without bobs and singles)
CRE> method pb6 "Plain Bob" 6 &x16x16x16,12
To use bobs and singles, three additional arguments are required: number of row at which call takes effect (row 0 is the lead end, row -1 the penultimate row etc) and the place notations for the work of the bob and single which is substituted at this row. For example;
CRE> method pb6 "Plain Bob" 6 &x16x16x16,12 0 14 1234
