Don, I'm so used to seeing 'maj' that it took me a minute to recognize your CAPITOL 'M' and small 'm'. At first I thought, 'are you kidding me, he's starting with an f MINOR?'. Of course after the brain freeze thawed
...... In fact, I'm going to start notating that way (I'll take the easy way to do ANYTHING
). There are so many shortcuts in music notation, it's hard to remember them all. I guess you just have to adopt your own system and stick to it. I wish some of the notation software would allow for 'custom' shortcuts. Most don't.
