AB - As a result of a mess argument, in which two music lovers protested that the existing system of notation is too complicated, I endeavoured to produce a simpler method. The result was a 12-note arrangement instead of the customary 8-note one ; therefore it would require 1½ times the space, using six lines per octave and a thick line for each C. The scale of C is shown, the arrow indicating the key note. In addition to doing away with sharps, flats and key signatures, when this method is used for keyboard instruments, the music is read in exactly the same way for both hands.
