It's very interesting. ----------------------- SignWriting List February 24, 2000 Yes, you are right, Charles, it could definitely be written above the notes... For those of you who do not read music - do not panic! You are not required to read music to write SignWriting songs - not at all!! ;-)) Writing the signs over or under the music notation is just one of many choices for writing timing in SignWriting, and I will be teaching you some of the other ways in a few messages from now... But in regards to music coordination...even though I have notated volumes of dance choreography, which requires that I coordinate the DanceWriting with the music....I personally do not read music well...in other words, I cannot play an instrument. But there is one thing I do read ...and that is the timing - the rhythm...because without that knowledge there is no way to write a dance coordinated with the music. So when I taught DanceWriting at the Boston Conservatory of Music, I taught the dancers how to read the counts in the music, and how to break movement down and place the written dance under the correct counts...
