pa pi pu - music notation

New simple music notation
  (+2)
(+2)
 

This is a new simple music notation schema:

It may seem complex at first, but what makes it simple is that singing it by reading it is quite easy, first the rhythm, then the "notes".

First lets tackle duration and rhythm.

Durations:

A measure ends with m

1. quarter notes: pa pa pa pam, pa pa pa pam

2. eighth notes: pipi pipi pipi pipim

3. sixteenth notes: PepePepe PepePepe PepePepe PepePepem .

4. half notes: poho pohom.

5. full notes: puum (each u is a double o, so it sung: poo-oo -oo-oom)

When its three quarters its written: La da dam, La da dam.

Pauses are with Sh. So a quarter measure duration wait is Sha. a n eighth is Shi a sixteenth pause is She read as "sheh"

(wait, is the tag hr horizontal row, like human resources, or is it hb horizontal bar, like halfbakery?)

# Tones
----- -------- ---------

Changing tones (pitch) up and down is relative:

- dash means minus, going down.

+ plus turns back up.

It works for ALL following notes. no need to repeat, but you may want it repeated in cases where there are many changes.

b is back to one before the previous note.

(So if we sang Do La and the next note is marked with b we would go be back to Do. )

z - stays where we were. Same as previous note. Every song begins with z.

z: (zero): stay in place
za za zizi zam, ZezeZeze zizi zizi zam.
