European languages (alphabets) are very similar to what we use. Norwegian, Swedish, and Danish (which I am familiar with) have extra letters in their alphabet, but they come at the end of the alphabet, and would not affect the musical note letter-names. I think the question more applicable, would be what do they do in countries having totally different alphabets? That would be countries such as Greece, Russia, China, Japan, and Arabic countries. There are a lot of things in music that use Italian words, regardless the country the music is being played. I wonder if they just use A, B, C, D, E, and F for similar reasons. -- Sincerely, Aere ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Learn the latest--Visual Studio 2012, SharePoint 2013, SQL 2012, more!
