Isn't the assumption that a note is the same as the note an octave above it and the one an octave below it a huge cultural bias? It is in all natural languages except that I don't believe gaelic music transcription has that problem. Chinese and Italian do, and the rest of the languages get it from them. But since to the best of my knowledge it's not everywhere, isn't it rather difficult to arbitrarily say two notes are the same note even if they're five octaves apart? --la kreig.daniyl 'segu temci fa le bavli gi mi'o ba renvi lo purci .i ga la fonxa cu janbe gi du mi' -la djimis.BYFet xy.sy. gubmau ckiku cmesanji: 0x5C3A1E74
