Hello List and Paul Bailey who said: "In common parlance, there are =
Major and Minor seconds, thirds,=20
sixths and sevenths: but the Fourths and Fifths are NOT called
Major, or Minor:  Fourths and Fifths are Perfect, Augmented or=20
Diminished: but never Major or Minor."


You are quite right! You've won the "Spot Prize!" (a pair of revolving =
cardboard socks - with clocks on) One day I shall master musical =
terminology. I might even master music! Until that day I sit corrected. =
I give up playing the 'cello until I find out what that squiggle at the =
beginning of those five horridzontal lines means. Also I thought that # =
=3D "number" But sometimes I seem to remember seeing several of those =
things just after the squiggle. Also some things which look like a =
bisected Spade. All sorts of funny things in fact. I doubt I'll ever =
Major in such Augmented sign languages - but that's a Minor problem, Bar =
nothing, which will Diminish in Time - if I don't Stave if off. Pause =
here..... da Capo col Signa con Allegro :-)
Regards from a cold, but sun drenched Sussex Downland Village,
