- Find the chords before letter G.
- S=0 if the chords would get slower.
- S=1 if the chords would get faster.
- S=2 if the chords would stay at the same tempo.
- Below rehearsal mark C there is a half note with two x's in front of it.
- T=1 if the pitch of that note is A
- T=2 if the pitch of that note is B
- T=3 if the pitch of that note is C
- U = The total number of notes scored for the 12th century Lute, minus 3. (Example: If there were 3 F's, and 1 G, there would be 4 notes.) Composer's notes: the 3rd note is only one note, and the 7th note is only one note. Disregard all those extraneous ink blots.
- V = the number of 64th notes in the 2/4 measure in the treble clef .
- Find the bar where you play exactly what you played in the measure before. Immediately following is a new time signature. W= the number of beats per measure in the new time signature.
- X = The number of the measure with the loudest dynamic marking - 1.
- The lowest note of the piece is a grace note near rehearsal mark B.
- Y=3 if that note is F
- Y=4 if that note is E
- Y=5 if that note is D
- At rehearsal I there is a metronome marking. How many quarter notes could you play per second at that speed? (round to nearest quarter note). Subtract 4 to get Z.
