Thus D FLAT MAJOR and D FLAT MINOR in the text both correspond to Des and des in the scores, D SHARP MAJOR and D SHARP MINOR to Dis and dis in the scores, etc. While following in our discussion the English usage of referring to flat and sharp, we follow in our scores the continental usage. Contrary to the usual notation (in lower case) in musical literature, we denote the minor keys in small capitals in order to set them off from the rest of the text.

Although we designate in some instances the length of the notes (whole note, half note, quarter note, etc.), this notation has no bearing upon the present investigation but has been used in anticipation of a later investigation into the rhythmic characteristics of sentence intonation. For the same reason, the melody is given several octaves lower than it is actually produced by the human voice. To achieve a maximal simplification of the musical script we use exclusively the bass key. The examples of intonations are quoted in our book in musical notation.
