Song Notations
Notations
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 instrumental sounds which sometimes form 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 doesnt signify the duration of the note. Note that these notes give you only an outline of the song. You can perfect the song by experimenting with these notes.
Capital letters stand for higher / tivre / sharp notes.
Small letters stand for lower / komal / flat notes.
