This is a collection of selected true touches of Erin Triples, with an indication of the musical content of each touch. The touches are listed in notation using a '-' for a plain six, B for a bobbed six and S for a single. The touches are in groups of each length, being arranged in order with plain sixes first, then bobs and then singles. The musical qualities were assessed for each touch by counting the rows ending in 46, 74 and 67, these three numbers following each touch. Touches containing Queens (1357246), Tittums (1526374) or Whittingtons (1275346) are indicated by Q, T or W respectively. For example, the touch of 40 changes: '---B---' contains three rows ending in 46, none ending in 74 and two ending in 67, counting rounds once. This touch, written out by six-ends, is as follows:
1234567 | |

2416375 | |
4627153 | |
6745231 B | |
7562431 | |
5273614 | |
2351746 | (3x ..46) |
(3124567) | (2x ..67) |

When a touch contains a block of consecutive calls including a single, the single can be called anywhere within this block. Also, where there is a series of consecutive bobs an even number of the bobs may be replaced by singles. In a short touch these variations will not usually affect the truth of the touch, although particular arrangements may be needed to give specific rows such as Queens etc.
