So what are the other two? And what does the hemisphere mean? I only
know anything about Sacred Harp.
Do - equilateral triangle
Re - half of a circle, straight edge facing up
Mi - diamond
Fa - right angle triangle
So - full circle or oval
La - square
Ti - quarter of a circle, pointy end facing down
You can see a picture here:

I am only interested in the Aiken and Sacred Harp shaped notes.
I could scan some pages from my Aiken shape note hymnal (printed in
1999) if that would help, but as I said before, it isn't beautiful.
