Let F be a 4-regular graph with an Euler system C. We introduce a simple way to modify the interlacement matrix of C so that every circuit partition P of F has an associated modified interlacement matrix M (C, P). If C and C' are Euler systems of F then M(C, C') and M(C', C) are inverses, and for any circuit partition P, M (C', P) = M (C',C) . M(C, P). This machinery allows for short proofs of several results regarding the linear algebra of interlacement.
