Burke Advantages of shape notes? (29) RE: Advantages of shape notes? 17 Jun 10

Spaw, I deliberately spelled it fuge.

I do wish I had called it the fuging section, which I started with. The fuging sections are not full fledged fugues (as in Bach). The old books always call them fuging tunes. Within the shape note singing community we've had some discussion of the spelling, but I have checked some online sources and found fuge used in at lease some old 19th century tune books.
