My concern with introducing CC in triplet is if you do that and then turn
around and do it in a contra you have done it twice in one program - and
probably very close together. I wouldn't want to do that

Like many others, I recommend a triplet or 3-face-3. You're not going
out of your minor set, and not everyone's active all the time.
I recommend:
Corner Triplet (Linda Leslie)
Melanie's Triplet (Melanie Axel-Lute)
Microchasmic Triplet (Ann Fallon)
or
Down by the Riverside (3-face-3 by Melanie Axel-Lute)
I don't recommend Ted's Triplet #7, because it also includes a proper
right-and-left through, which many people these days are more
unfamiliar with than contra corners.
