But it's a good idea, and the last time it was tried it failed because there was not a way to be nonmusical yet still communicate, and we don't all have perfect pitch. But lojban. can be spoken, as well as sung. Also, songs could follow this optionally, or do it mostly then deviate for melodic puns, or just ignore it if they've got a better idea. What I like about it is that it gives you a musical setting for anything to work with before you make your own. Plus it's a possible experimental value for a sapir-whorf test: do musical lojbanists become more artistic than if they are taught normal, spoken lojban.? BTW: .ui.u'e.u'i .u'e.uo.u'i .uo.u'a.u'i
