I think (though I'm not sure) that Graham was wanting to have vocal come right before text. But I can't remember now if I'm making that up or not. > I would use the following order: > > o 1.8 Piano music > o 1.9 Chord names > o 1.10 Vocal music > o 1.11 Guitar > o 1.12 Percussion > o 1.13 Other instrument-specific notation > o 1.14 Ancient notation > > The idea: Piano music is the traditional notation, chor-names are a > simplification for simple accompanyment. > Choirs and also modern pieces need lyrics together, so that's the > next-important piece.

Maybe I'm imagining things here, but it seems that people frequently make a [vocal / instrumental] distinction; ie, I think some people may feel that vocal music isn't instrumental music. Does anyone else get this feeling (in English), ie, that vocal music isn't really instrumental music? I'm also not a fan of chord names coming in the middle of the instrument sequence ... chord names aren't instrument specific in any way. If we want ancient to come last (which seems nice) then maybe this putting vocal before the instrumental sequence: > o 1.8 Vocal music > o 1.9 Piano music > o 1.10 Guitar > o 1.11 Percussion > o 1.12 Other instrument-specific notation > o 1.13 Chord names > o 1.14 Ancient notation The idea: vocal --> instrumental --> chords --> old. Actually, maybe even tighter to banish chord names to the educational use section up above (1.7)? Then we would have ... > o 1.8 Vocal music > o 1.9 Piano music > o 1.10 Guitar > o 1.11 Percussion > o 1.12 Other instrument-specific notation > o 1.13 Ancient notation ... which I really like ... vocal --> instrumental --> old. But that may break Graham's constraint about having vocal proximal to text ... -- Trevor Bača [EMAIL PROTECTED]
