question about interaction of yards and shrouds

Thanks to everyone who replied...turns out I had actually read the exact answers several of you supplied but at the time I wasn't familiar enough with the terminology to understand what I was reading. to paraphrase the Ancre monograph on the ship "the first shroud of the mainmast is attached to the channel with a triple block rather than a deadeye to allow the shroud to be slackened as needed to more effectively brace the main yard"

exactly as ya'all said. I just didn't understand what I'd read at the time
