This allows the 1NT opener to judge his hand. The
singleton rebid is used by responder after Stayman,
at the three level. Any three-level rebid shows
shortness and a game force. It could be a 4-4-4-1
pattern or a 5-4-3-1 or 5-4-4-0 pattern as well.

In this system, if responder wishes to show a long
minor suit and a 4-card major, he must start with
a transfer to the minor and then bid the major.

On today's auction, West rebids 3NT over 3H,
because of his strong heart holding. But let's
switch his majors to this:

K Q J
Q 3
A J 9 4 3
Q 8 3

Now he bids 4, to show his long suit and no interest
in 3NT. Whether East-West reach the perfect-fitting
slam or stop in 5 making six, they will have done
well to avoid 3NT.
