This is perhaps common in italy (I don't know) - but it is definitely not common in english or the german group (danish, swedish, norwegian, dutch) of music notation. If fis is really called 'f' when playing in g major, then - by the same argument - one should also call fis 'f' when playing in fis major. Actually, when playing a piece in fis major, all the notes would (after your definition) have the same names as if the piece was in f major. So - using your naming method - how does one tell whether the piece runs in f major or fis major - both would be called "f major" ??? I really don't understand. > > for people really playing and singing music, and not simply > > typesetting it, this is ridiculous. I think that as good as everybody on this list "really play and sing music" - and for some reason we don't find it rediculous. -Rune _______________________________________________ Lilypond-user mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://mail.gnu.org/mailman/listinfo/lilypond-user
