For the higher octave the notes is succeeded by a + sign
and for the lower octave the notes is followed by a - sign.
The notes present within flower brackets '{}' must be
played at a higher speed than the other notes. If there is only one note
present in the bracket then just give a touch of the note (don't prolong
the note for a long time). That note is present to give better effect to
the song. The notes present inside simple brackets '()' stand for the intrumental
sounds which sometimes forms an integral part of a song.
Usually if a note has to be prolonged
it is followed by a series of dots. But the number of dots don't signify
the duration of the note. That you can get by trying out for yourself.
Note that these notes gives you only an outline of the song. You can perfect
the song by experimenting with these notes.
