Please don't call them that, that's not clear or correct nomenclature. If one wants guitar fret numbers, one simply uses a number 6 or higher, or 4 fr. or 4. div. or 4. esp. etc. What is desired is position and barring indications, not fret numbers. It's just markup text. VII VII---- CVII or BVII---(half bracket) The old way is "7. pos....." My way is "[7a" where "a" is the lowest string barred. It would be ****far**** more helpful to have string indications in the manual, which are standard as a ring, but not standard as to the content of the ring: (3) (Sol) (G). The numbers are better for beginners, but the letter is best for the accomplished player. I've got to agree with Villa Lobos on that. He used a letter although he was Brazilian and publishing in France. (Sol) is too hard to read, which is no doubt why the numbers became so popular. daveA -- The only technical exercises for all guitarists worth a lifetime of practice: "Dynamic Guitar Technique".
