Hmm ok, that's interesting Graham. Is a chrochet a quarter note?
What's a semi-quaver? I'm guessing this is terminology common to
the UK, or is this standardized throughout Europe? As I'm sure you
know, it's all quarters, eighths, etc. throughout North America.
The turn sounds like what is also known as a neighboring tone
figure, although I'll now have to go review my notes on neighboring
tones, escape tones, etc. as I can never keep those things straight.

Is a great page on this, and that site in general is a very handy
reference for traditional music theory terms and concepts.

A turn is an ornament which turns about on a note. The best way to describe it is with an example: if you have a fifth octave d
chrotchet with a turn on it, you play e d c and d as semiquavers, so those four notes make up a quarter note. I think you can also
make them go the other way with another symbol, so c-d-e-d would be played in the previous example. The sign for the turn is dots
2-5-6; I can't remember the sign for an inverted turn.

Um, what's a turn? Is this a term specific to Braille music, or something common to standard music notation?
Stumped,
Chris P.S. Is there a list specifically for perplexing Braille music questions?
