Abstract
Over commutative rings in which 2 is a zero-divisor, to compose a quadratic form with symmetric bilinear forms or with quadratic forms is not quite the same. In this article, the relation between the two classes of compositions is clarified and the results applied to find the ranks of minimal compositions.
