Note

To change the hand evaluation pass high card values (HCValues) and shape values (shapeValues) in the arguments.

HCValues is a string of five digits specifying the value of the Ace, King, Queen, Jack and 10. The default is the Milton Work scale of 4, 3, 2, 1, 0. shapeValues is a string of eight digits specifying the value of a suit with no cards/"Void", 1-card/"Singleton", ... 7-cards. The default is c(3, 2, 1, 0, 0, 1, 2, 3) Losing Trick Count (LTCSchema) 'Original' or 'New' as described at https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Losing-Trick_Count. This assumes a fit will be found. It is currently not implemented.
