Mobel

“Mobel provides the facilities that are most useful on a mobile device: the ability to practise plain courses or touches of any method, or spliced, by tapping the screen or using a hardware keyboard, and display the blue line diagram of a method or touch.”

“With hand bells, tap the bottom right of the screen to ring the bell at bottom right of the bell circle, and tap the bottom left of the screen to ring the bell at bottom left of the circle. If "Score Blows" is turned on in Settings, a score (0..10) appears to show the accuracy of your striking for that blow.”

“With hand bells, tap the bottom right of the screen to ring the bell at bottom right of the bell circle, and tap the bottom left of the screen to ring the bell at bottom left of the circle. If "Score Blows" is turned on in Settings, a score (0..10) appears to show the accuracy of your striking for that blow.”

“Score Summary. If you turn this switch on, when you stand the bells a score (0..10) appears beside the bell(s) you have rung, to show the overall accuracy of your striking.”

“Wait for Me. If you turn this switch on, then hesitate when ringing a bell, Mobel will wait for you to ring it. If you turn the switch off, Mobel will carry on ringing its own bells at the right time, even if you hesitate when ringing yours.”

“You can practise any method on 4 to 16 bells, ringing a single bell or, for handbell ringers, a pair. You can ring plain courses, or touches with bobs and/or singles that Mobel calls, or spliced. You can conduct touches of single methods, with bobs and/or singles. If you choose the Tower Bells option, Mobel displays pictures of sallies and tail ends, uses tower bell sound, and rings at tower bell speed. If you choose the Hand Bells option, Mobel displays pictures of handbells, uses handbell sound, and rings at handbell speed. You can select from over 22,000 methods, and can edit methods to create new ones, including Doubles Variations. You can ring random compositions that Mobel generates, and you can add specific compositions that you want to practise. You can vary the speed of the ringing, and ring with handstoke gap or cartwheeling. You can have Mobel wait for you if you hesitate while ringing a bell - or it can carry on in perfect rhythm. Optionally, Mobel will give you marks out of 10 for your striking.”

“When you start ringing a bell, Mobel will not ring it any more. But if you stop ringing, Mobel will ring it again after a few blows.”

“Mobel allows two forms of composition, called "Lead End" and "Call Place". A Lead End composition specifies calls for every lead end, eg, "bpppbbpppb". A Call Place composition specifies that calls are made when an observation bell is at specific places such as Wrong or Home, eg, "WHWH".”

“Place Notation. Mobel accepts most common forms of place notation.”

“You can practise any method on 4 to 16 bells, ringing a single bell or, for handbell ringers, a pair. You can ring plain courses, or touches with bobs and/or singles that Mobel calls, or spliced.

“Wait for Me. If you turn this switch on, then hesitate when ringing a bell, Mobel will wait for you to ring it. If you turn the switch off, Mobel will carry on ringing its own bells at the right time, even if you hesitate when ringing yours.”

“Mobel shows a tradional "blue line diagram" for a method, in one of three styles: rows, frame and grid. It can also show the diagram for a composition (up to 1440 changes), in rows or frame style.”

“Versions of Mobel are available for iPhone and iPad with iOS 3 onwards; the latest version runs on iOS 12 onwards, and on Apple Mac with MacOS Big Sur or later. Mobel also runs on Android systems from Android 5 (Lollipop) onwards.”

“Mobel is a bell ringing simulator for church bell ringers and handbell change ringers. It runs on iPhone, iPad and Apple Mac. When ringers are at home, travelling or at towers, Mobel lets them practise any method they are going to ring. It also shows the blue line diagram for any method, including bobs and singles.”

“Mobel has been installed 2.3 thousand times. Over the past 30 days, it has been installed 42 times.”

“Due to device limitations, at some speeds the ringing rhythm is not absolutely steady. (It's unsteady if the inter-bell gap is a submultiple of 1.50 to 1.54 seconds.) If you notice that the rhythm is unsteady, change the ringing speed slightly.”

“Use pinch gestures on the blue line display to increase/decrease the size of the diagram. There are device memory limits: you won't be able to use the largest diagram sizes with long methods and compositions on high numbers of bells.”

“Going mobile – In 2010, Mobel , a version of Abel that runs on an iPhone, was released. This allows ringers who use the key pressing technique to practice in places where they couldn't otherwise. It also allows ringers to 'look up' the diagram or line of a method without carrying round a large book. Mobel has also been used to help explain ringing to strangers when the topic arises in conversation. It was later adapted to run on other types of smart phone.”
