An investigation is made of a hybrid method inspired by Riccati transformations and marching algorithms employing (parts of) orthogonal matrices, both being decoupling algorithms. It is shown that this so-called continuous orthonormalisation is stable and practical as well. Nevertheless, if the problem is stiff and many output points are required the method does not give much gain over, say, multiple shooting.
