Many musicians kept books of dots to help them remember tunes.
On reading this my thoughts went straight to an incident when I was a
teenager in a pipe band. The Pipe Major, probably around 60 then, was
teaching a group of us youngsters a tune. One of my fellow teens started
to contradict what he was playing pointing out that the note values on
the page didn't conform. "THAT is just an aide memoire", came the reply,
"THIS is how it goes!".
