Notes:
-
Branch Off is a generalization of Peel Off and Trail Off.
-
Leaders always go to the Right, and Trailers always Trade by the Right.
-
For the Leaders, Branch Off is either a Trail Off or a Peel Off,
dependending upon whether you are respectively a Beau or a Belle.
-
For the Trailers, the first part of Branch Off is 1/2 Crossover Circulate,
which is not the same as Cross Extend.
- Cross Extend is not legal from Inverted Boxes.
- The ending handedness for Cross Extend depends upon the handedness of the starting
formation, whereas 1/2 Crossover Circulate ends with a R-H Mini-Wave.
Left Branch Off is the Mirror version of the call.

Comments:
-
I tried to name Branch Off in a manner consistent with Peel Off and Trail Off,
which is why the name consists of a single word followed by the word 'Off'.
-
Branch Off is to Peel | Trail Off as Revolve To A Wave is to Box Recycle.
-
Branch Off can be useful in resolving asymmetric setups.
