[Menvi-discuss] subnote system instead of interval signs and tricks for right hand reading?

[Brandon Keith Biggs]

Hello,
wouldn't a dropped F be a repeat sign? and wouldn't a dropped g be a 
staccato mark?
I've never heard of dropping the notes and I don't think it would work... 
It's true that I see notes better than intervals, but honestly if you keep 
in mind that your hand is a 5th it is pretty easy to find the intervals... 
It is just annoying when you need to go down to the bass line to get your 
bass note...
Thanks,

Brandon Keith Biggs

hi list,

I was just wondering if anyone used the system of subnotes instead of
interval signs. This is where the note that is to be played is written
in a dropped cell next to the first note which is written normally. So a
c chord would be the c written in normal braille music, then a dropped
e, or the en sign, and then a dropped g, or the were, sign.

I ask because I am having a lot of trouble reading intervals top down in
the right hand of piano music. I've never been good at inverting things,
in life and in music. So I'm wondering if that subnote system would work
better, or, perhaps there's some trick to reading intervals top down
that I'm not aware of? I have trouble figuring out what a flatted sixth
would be written top down, for example. I can't really say why, I guess
it's just never computed in my brain properly, maybe because I'm
relatively new and slow at braille music? In my music theory book the
right hand intervals were written upward, which would be a good solution
except that that's not the standard practice.

Well, any thoughts on this are welcome, I'm very interested to see what
sort of discussion this will generate.
Thanks for reading,
