<p>i.e. 4th finger on the C, 1st on the Fsharp, 2nd on the Dsharp ... is that a B7th chord ? denoted as 7P 412Ex.</p>
<p> The 4th finger in slid back to the B for the next chord, Bmaj, which is a 7P 412.</p>

<p>I see. Ex stands for extended? It's a diminished chord. Three of the 4 notes of a diminished chord actually. We can call it a C diminished or F sharp diminished or D sharp diminished. We can even call it an E flat diminished even though that note is not being played. I would call it a C diminished. A diminished chord cuts the octave into equal thirds.

<p>The score in the Music Library shows a title for each section except the opening one. This suggests to me that it was composed by Morley. The melody and fingering is typical of Joe Morley so this seems a reasonable working hypothesis. I don't see what needs to become more readable. Perhaps a few of the bars are a bit cramped as they are full of sharp signs and fingering indications but that is typical of printed music of the era and presents no obstacle to reading especially as the original…</p>

Perhaps a few of the bars are a bit cramped as they are full of sharp signs and fingering indications but that is typical of printed music of the era and presents no obstacle to reading especially as the original printed music sheets were large. The only puzzle to me is the symbol "Ex" which appears occasionally. I don't know what it means but I can read it clearly. There are anomalies as well. Page 2 and 4 are each shown in upper right corner as page 3 whereas the actual third page has no number at all. Perhaps page one of the first and second banjo parts were title pages. That would explain it. </p> What is wrong with the score…tag:classic-banjo.ning.com,2023-01-25:2667446:Comment:1926122023-01-25T10:14:15.301Zthereallynicemanhttps://classic-banjo.ning.com/profile/thereallyniceman
