Well I'm used to writing numbers as my theory person had us do for our key
board tests so I see c4 and think, Oh middle c on the piano. so that's how I
interpreted it in the docs as a middle c not a quarter note. I also
misinterpreted the ' symbol to mean a single quote so it literally did mean c 4
on the piano not a quarter note. Way too many terminal commands for me that
night I guess. lol!
Is there a way to memorize or through pattern recognition how many ' and ,
symbols it takes to jump octaves? besides writing down a few notes and going
to the tuneful site to listen to see if I messed up? as that's what I've been
doing and it yeps but it slows me down a lot. and we don't' really want that.
Tc all and be blessed.
