I'll do this in the key of C, and generally use the scale from G to F (i to ai) because otherwise certain high parts sound out of place. The first line is the Lojban, the second is the notes (with accented notes marked with a *) and the third is what key the measure seems to be in. e'o sutra doi cakcurnu i ko ti'a zgana ua pa D A *C E Bb E *C C G A *G E E E *E E C (with 7) C C Am xajyfi'e noi jbitrixe gi'e me mi rebla stapa E B*G D Bb G *G D G D *D G D E *E E G - Gm G G C i ui a'a ro le jukni e le respa ca se ganse G CG*E E A D *C G D D *D E E D *E D C G C G gi'e denpa mi le canre i pei do ba kansa dansu G D *D E G D *E D G Eb *A E E E *E C G Gm6 Am C i aipei naipei aipei naipei aipei do ba dansu G *F Eb F Eb *F Eb F Eb *F Eb A E *E C F7 F7 F7 C i aipei naipei aipei naipei naipei do ba dansu G *F Eb F Eb *F Eb F Eb *F Eb A E *E C F7 F7 F7 C An entirely passable chord progression. The fact that it's almost always major tonic (C) or dominant (G) gives it a cheerful sound, except it takes an odd turn toward jazz in the last two lines. (I can see a discussion on how to name chords in Lojban coming on...) -- Rob Speer
