I'm going to have to re-write-out all my chord cards.
:p
that's ok: I was thinking about doing that anyway with the inclusion of standard notation
...
This is starting to make sense why it's all done that way;
but I'd really taken to using roman numerals
It's so much more visually efficient to write "mIII" as opposed to "minor 3rd"
(Not to mention maintains as much uniform space as possible: "I" and "mIII" are much closer in space consideration than "1st" and "minor 3rd")
Is it permissible to just write it as "1" and "m3" or - less desirably - "1st" and "m3rd"?
That's closer at least than "minor 3rd"
...
I'm trying desperately to find a way to notate my scale degrees as concisely as possible.
I came across this document in web search
( http://www.tierceron.com/misc/mus116/m116e01.pdf )
the 1 and etc with "a little hat" seems simple enough; but there's various things about the notation that are very confusing to me
(like the fact that ANY of the scale degrees are sharped, let alone the 1st one)
and the Xs on the accompanying staff notation are alien to me as well.
