I support the idea of the open string (dots 1-3). Open valving or open fingering on instruments would be equal to open string on guitar or strings.

I'm on page one of the primer and already have three questions - so far. I've looked in Bana 97, De Garmo and International Braille Music Manual.<br>
<br>
Do I treat the o under the open g as a letter o, as the o for open string etc (dots 1,3) or the number zero? As the letter o signifies an open sound and often indicates directions for mute do we save the dot 1,3 for later?<br>
<br>
Whatever the answer to above I'm presuming I braille whichever sign we decide upon directly after the note as in fingering for piano etc.<br>
<br>
For the note e which depresses valves one and two do I finger this as I would for a piano chord?<br>
<br>
Can't wait to get to page 2.<br>
