Central Council Methods Library

The Central Council’s Methods library is now maintained using the Composition Library website. If you wish to find a method by name, you can use Composition Library’s quick search to find it, display its blue line, and explore its properties. It is free to register with Composition Library, and doing so provides many additional features, such as the ability to search using method properties, control how the blue line is displayed or printed, add new methods for private use (with automatic classification and checking for name or place notation conflicts with existing methods) and privately share a link to them with your band.

If you wish to download lists of methods and their place notations for use with spreadsheets or computer programs, first select the required download format below then click on the stage against the desired method class. Note that these formats are different from those provided before May 2018 and are explained in more detail in the Notes on Method Collections. Please direct any comments or issues arising to methods@cccbr.org.uk
