I agree that this is in dead a neat way of transmiting tunes, but I'm not shure there is any advandage over using the letter notes as in as in abc notation, well, aside from using the high and low ticks, and the vowel change for flat and sharp. The proponents of abc notation hve developed programs for translating it back and forth. I've no direct experience with thoose programs and I'm not trying to put sol-fa down. I doen't want to start an arguement either. I just wanted to get some feedback on the relitive merits and drawbacks of each system.
