Short Touches of Stedman Triples

This page contains a list of touches of Stedman Triples (2 to 6 calls) with a description of their respective music. For these touches the music is explained as follows. 567s means roll-ups at the back of the change. 74s and 46s represent the bells in sixths and sevenths. QKTWB refers to the incidence of Queens, Kings (75312468), Tittums, Whittingtons (12753468), and back-change. The callings are all counted as the number of sixes after the previous call.
