In cylindrical methods, there are no jump-changes or repeated rows, but the definiton of a row as a permutation of the number of bells does not still apply. A row may contain one (and only one) bell twice, and one (and only one) bell not at all. This is easiest to see in cylindrical plain-hunt, where bells 'lead' in thirds place, lie in seconds place, and consequently disappear off the back of a row and reappear at the front of the next-but-one row:

If the same bell rings in the first and last place of a given row, there is one constraint and so the number of places available for the remaining notation is reduced from 8 to 7. In alterate rows, the first bell of the row is constained to be the last bell of the last-but-one row, again reducing the possibilities to 7, and so allowing constructions like 'Stedman Major':
