etaoin - "Ah, I see" (said the blind man to his deaf dog on a sunny night)... it was the comma that threw me off.

I think you're right, but it sure would be nice to have a way to do it without resorting to some obscure ascii thang...

How bout you take your longest note, say a quarter note and define that up front, i.e., v=1/4. then fa is a quarter note, faa is an eighth note, faaa (it's exponential, not linear) is a sixteenth note. full stop gives you dotted rhythm, e.g., faa. is a dotted eighth note.

Thus: v=1/4

Do Do Do tii Doo Re fa mi do (The Caps indicate the higher octave)

Opening phrase of?

I sang your melody, Faldage, but it didn't ring a bell.

Try this one (it's easy) ' before a syllable indicated pitches under the tonic:

'solll 'solll 'soll 'solll 'solll 'soll 'solll 'solll doo ree mii

'solll 'solll 'soll 'solll 'solll 'soll mii mii ree 'tii 'soll

'solll 'solll 'soll 'solll 'solll 'soll 'solll 'solll doo ree mii doo mii sol. faaa miii reee doo mii do

*Wasn't sure how to tie or extend sol here, but what the heck. Just foolin' around.

okay. cool.

I got WW's, once I realized every third so had only one l! (gotta get my eyes checked!)

I've sung your's Fal, but I can't place the piece. it's a major work, Bach or Mozart, I think, though I probably just embarrassed myself...

how do we do half and whole notes? the uppercase thing might work for that, if we can find another way to indicate all the octaves...

Helf note: sol_
Dotted half note: sol_.
Whole note: sol_ _

Etc.

Hey, et! Mine was a major work, too, you know!
