 <<though it has got a lot of * demisemiquavers * in it>>
 
 Translation service for this side of the pond for black note with stick and three tails = 32nd note
 
 Wow, sure been a long time since last used this nomenclature for musical notes, uncertain my memory's firm on these, let me see, is that
 minim, breve, semi-breve, crotchet, quaver, semiquaver, demisemiquaver
 or have i got them a bit muxed ip over eons of rest bars?
 
 Over here
 white note no stick is called whole note
 white note with stick half-note
 black note with stick is quarter note
 black note with stick & one tail is eighth note
 ditto with two tails is sixteenth (etc)
 (dunno what they call white note no stick with brackets, haven't seen one of those in any band music so far)
 
 I made a Hoo-hoo Boo-boo in band, first month, my copy a bit faint in print, asked if that Bar # should have dotted or undotted crotchet, band director blinked, then looked long and hard at his copy before answering tenuto ... dotted Quarter Note ... oops I thought, they don't speak that lingo over here
