t a suitable compound to use in naming
pitches. Pitch names are either _simple_: B, or _compound_: B
sharp, B double-sharp, B flat or B double-flat, and there is
no pitch named "B natural." Example: Pitch B, _not_ "B
natural."

NOTE:--L.R.L. thinks that B natural should be the name when
the notation suggests it.

5. _Step, Half-step:_ Terms of interval _measurement_. Avoid
_tone_, _semi-tone_ or _half-tone_. Major second and minor
second are interval _names_. Example: How large are the
following intervals? (1) Major second, (2) minor second, (3)
augmented prime. Answer: (1) a step, (2) a half-step, (3) a
half-step.

6. _Chromatic:_ A tone of the key which is not a member of its
diatonic scale. (N.B.) An accidental (a notation sign) is not
a chromatic sign _unless_ it makes a staff-degree represent a
chromatic tone.

7. _Major; Minor:_ Major and Minor keys having the same
signature should be called relative major and minor. Major and
minor keys having the same tonic, but different signatures,
should be called tonic major and minor. Not "parallel" major
or minor in either case.

8. _Staff:_ Five horizontal lines and their spaces. Staff
_lines_ are named (numbered) upward in order, first to fifth.
_Spaces:_ Space below, first-second-third-fourth-space, and
space above[44]. (Six in all.) Additional short lines and
their short spaces numbered outward both ways from the main
staff, viz: line below, second space below. The boundary of
the staff is always a space.

[Footnote 44: NOTE:--Not "space below the staff" or "space
above the staff."]

9. _G Clef, F Clef, C Clef:_ These clefs when placed upon the
staff, give its degrees their first, or primary pitch meaning.
Each makes the degree it occupies represent a pitch of its
respective name. Example: The G clef makes the second line
represent the pitch G. Avoid "_fixes G on_." The staff with
clef in position represents only pitches having _simple_ or
_one-word_ names, A, B, C, etc.

10. _Sharps, Flats:_ Given a staff with clef in position as in
example above, sharps and flats make staff degrees upon which
they are placed represent pitches a half-step higher or lower.
These pitches have compound or two-word names. Example: The
second line stands for the pitch G
