Row

A Row is a permutation of the bells at a particular Stage.

Notes

Bells are numbered sequentially from the highest to the lowest note being rung, with single characters for bells from 9 to 16 (i.e. 0ETABCD). When writing out rows, each is written on a separate line so that the path of individual bells can be seen by looking down the columns.
