[HANASHIR:1612] Re: English for Hebrew songs:U-tsu Ei-tsa and MiHa-ish (fwd)

Oops! Please note a corrected dreaded-code of S'vivon below..  There 
should be no sixteenth notes in the way I was trying to code it..

No, this was not a conscious attempt to make yet another 
plug for counts! I'm really okay with the more
standard system.  ...   Honest...  No, really I am... 

As for a subconscious attempt ...  well...  if I were aware
of what went on in there, it wouldn't be subconscious, now 
would it?

Sorry, Judy!

I guess the serious point that does arise out of this is,
if there is a published version, should one try to code it in the
same time signature? or does it matter?

(In this case, I don't recall if the published versions have
4/4 with quarter, half, and eighth notes, or 2/4 with eighth, quarter,
and sixteenth  notes).

Time signature 4/4
key signature 1 flat (D minor)

1  =  whole note
2  =  half note
2. =  dotted half 
4  =  quarter note
4. =  dotted quarter
8  =  eighth note
8. =  dotted eighth
9  =  sixteenth

and if you need 32nd notes, you probably don't 
want to try to do it at all.


Notes used:  A- C# D E F G A Bb
             
(A- I'm using to refer to A near the
bottom rather than middle of your vocal
range, also indicates very good but not
perfect.))
