To Les,

I think we should start a thread on sol-fa notation, it may be the best way to communicate tunes via these threads. I have seen it many times on old manuscripts and sometimes attached to words only. It is based on Doh-re-me to give the notes of the scale and includes some time values as well i.e. crotchets quavers etc.

I have been able to work out some of the rules by looking the notation for tunes I know, but does anyone know all the rules?

Cheers,

Alan
