Get a hold of the home office and buy a book by Rick Baldersin called "On Pitch". This explains Octave types and other interval types really well and you can use it as a handy resource for re-reading and further study. The book only costs about 25 dollars and is easy reading. You will never regret getting it. You will find it much easier to relate to then the notes we can mangage to jot down for you... valuable tho as they are. I think after you read through and begin to get a handle on these terms the answers you get from this list will make much more sense to you. -- Richard Brekne RPT, N.P.T.F.
