what do you call it?

[Clyde Hollinger]

 From time to time I find myself making up a name for something I've 
never heard a name for, or forgot.  It just has to be accurate enough so 
when I read it in my records I know what I am talking about, and 
something that doesn't sound stupid to the customer reading their copy 
of the invoice.

If I think it may have a real name, I will usually try to find it later 
in my piano parts book.

Regards,
Clyde
