Wondering how to input a butterfly arrangement into Condes and then automatically generate all feasible variations into XML format. It is easy enough with Hageby courses, but I can't see the solution for butterflies. I must be missing something simple. Any pointers gratefully accepted.

Support explicitly for butterflies is an item high up on my to-do list.
In the mean time, if you want a butterfly with, say, 3 loops, you can create a relay course with 3 relay legs.
The centre control will appear four times on the course, with a fork between each appearance. Each fork will be identical, and have one of the butterfly loops in each branch.
This will generate a lot of relay variations. However, only those variations that have exactly one A, one B, and one C will be good. The rest will not be useful in this context, as they will use the same butterfly loop twice or three times.
I am aware that this is not the ideal solution, and I hope to come up with a better solution in Autumn.
