Steve Ward's pages helped me a lot:

http://stevehv.4hv.org/VTTCfaq.htm
http://stevehv.4hv.org/VTTCindex.htm

This is not a step-by-step design guide by any means,
but it does an ok job of presenting the basic theory
and many of the rules of thumb that make for
successful VTTC outcomes.  John Freau contributed a
lot of ideas that are presented here as well, esp. the
"staccato" stuff.
