in the fixed Do system... Do is always C, Fa is always F, etc. It is
a simple substitution for the letter names that we use here, although
I don't know how the altered notes are labeled. Is Eb simply Mib?
In the version I was taught, chromatic alterations were as follows:
Ib = Da
I# = Di
IIb = Ra
II# = Ri
IIIb = Me
III# = Mis
IVb = Fe
IV# = Fi
Vb = Se
V# = Si
VIb = Le
VI# = Li
VIIb = Te
VII# = Tis
Double-sharps were Dis, Ris, Misis, Fis, Sis, Lis, Tisis
Double-flats were Das, Ras, Ma, Fes, Sa, Les, Ta
I may have gotten two or three of these wrong (it's been years), but
the basic system is as I've outlined it.
If nothing else, these syllables make great Scrabble words (no, they're
not in the official dictionary--which is one reason I refuse to play by
the official dictionary).
