Music Preface |

A hold of definite length, indicating that a second and a third beat, each of the value of the denominator of the metrical signature, should be added to the tone over which this sign appears. Thus (as in "The Little Brown Bulls"):
or (as in "Texas Rangers"):
Holds of definite length, to be interpreted as above
An extended or an inserted rest, indicating that one beat, of the value of the denominator of the metrical signature, should be added or interpolated. Thus (as in "My Father Gave Me a Lump of Gold"):
or(as in "The Irish Lady"):
An extended or inserted rest of two beats, to be interpreted as above
Go back to the beginning
Go back to the sign
The end of the song
Go back to the beginning, then continue to Fine
A tone half sung, half spoken
Smallnotes have been employed to indicate (a) occasional variations in succeeding stanzas, and (b) additional parts sung simultaneously with the principal tune. There need be no confusion between these two usages, since the latter is always accompanied by some such indication as "Second part," "Second singer," "Tenor," or "Bass." |
