Surely the little notes help. For example, if you have e(1) Dd(4) c(2) , the little d is right there between the other two melodic notes and can hardly be missed. Whereas it might be missed with bourdons-only notation or even in tablature. -- Ed Durbrow Saitama, Japan http://www9.plala.or.jp/edurbrow/ To get on or off this list see list information at http://www.cs.dartmouth.edu/~wbc/lute-admin/index.html
