It's actually hemidemisemiquavers. But my Australian customers explicly told me they use hdsqs. And 1/128th notes are semihemidemisemiquavers However personally I prefer the US terms in that area. But not in "measure" for "bar". In the UK, measure has a broader term in dancing, and it seems reasonable that barlines should divide the music into bars, not measures :-) Bernard Hill Braeburn Software Author of Music Publisher system Music Software written by musicians for musicians http://www.braeburn.co.uk Selkirk, Scotland To subscribe/unsubscribe, point your browser to: http://www.tullochgorm.com/lists.html
