The Americana; a universal reference library, comprising the arts and sciences, literature, history, biography, geography, commerce, etc., of the world . previous note is to be continued through halfthat pulse. A comma indicates that the notepreceding it fills a quau^r of the time from oneaccent to the next; a dot and comma togetherthree quarters. An inverted comma is usedto denote that the note preceding it fills onethird of the time from one accent to the unfilled space indicates a rest or pause ofthe voice. A line below two or more notessignifies that they are to be sung to the samesyllable. The following example of the tonicsol-fa shown alongside of the ordinary notation,illustrates most of the features named:. |.„i My Country *Tis of Thee. In modulating into a new key the notethrough which the transition iS taken is indi-cated by a combination of the syllabic namewhich it has in the old key with that which ithas in the new — me lab, for example, beingconjoined into mlah, and in writing this note(termed a bridge note) the initial letter of itssyllable, as a member of the old key, is placedin small size before and above the initial of thesyllable of the new, as ™1 ds. In tlie casehowever, of an accidental, where the transitionis but momentary, a sharpened note changes itssyllabic vowel into e, and a flattened note intoaw, spelled a, as fah, fe, soh, se, te, ta. Inthe minor mode lab is the keynote; the is called bay, and the sharp seventh signature of the key of A minor is KeyC ; lab is A. The method of teaching is of equal impor-with the notation itself.
