Subsequent +rests are expressed as fractions thereof: half a @emph{soupir}, a quarter of +a @emph{soupir}, and so on. +Each of the following tables contains one type of note and its matching rest, +with abbreviations that apply to both notes and rests. Just switch the part +that means @q{note} with the part that means @q{rest}, for example: -@node Pitch names -@chapter Pitch names - -@table @code -@item PITCH NAMES -@end table - -@c @multitable @columnfractions .105 .145 .125 .125 .125 .125 .125 .125 -@c the extra @item's between each row makes the table hard to read ... so I removed them +@itemize -@multitable @columnfractions .11 .14 .14 .11 .1 .1 .1 .1 .1 +@item English: 16th @strong{note}, 16th @strong{rest} +@item German: 32tel-@strong{Note}, 32tel-@strong{Pause} +@item Finnish: 64-osa@strong{nuotti}, 64-osa@strong{tauko} -@c TODO -- figure out how to make _real_ table headers in TeXinfo +@end itemize -@item @tab @strong{ES} @tab @strong{I} @tab @strong{F} @tab @strong{D} -@tab @strong{NL} @tab @strong{DK} @tab @strong{S} @tab @strong{FI} +I put a dash @q{-} when I could not find a language-specific abbreviation for a +duration name.
