The word "composings" is spelled with a double "s" in the middle. This is because it is derived from the verb "compose," which ends in "e." When adding suffixes to words ending in "e," the "e" is often dropped unless the suffix begins with a vowel. In this case, the suffix "-ing" begins with a vowel so the "e" remains. The phonetic transcription for "composings" is /kəmˈpoʊzɪŋz/.
