fragments in any order, repeating them as desired.

when the first player deems it appropriate, he or she nods to bring in
the third player (with the first melody).  player one moves on to melody
three.  player two finishes the fragment he or she is on, then moves to
melody two.

this continues with each player taking each melody in turn, first as
written, then in fragments, always finishing the fragment he or she is on
before moving on to the next melody.

when player one finishes with the last melody, he/she nods, then quits
playing.  when player two finishes, he/she does the same.  this
continues to the last player, who plays the last melody only as written,
not in fragments.

(this ending may also be treated as the beginning of a new rendition.)

note:

players may enter in any tempo, however closely or remotely related to
that of any of the other players, but must then hold that tempo for the
remainder of that melody.

fragments may be transposed by octave, but preferably not individual
notes.
