Re: Can NoteNames in higher octaves be changed?

David,

How I wish I could understand how you do what you do! It all looks like 
magic to me. Is there a place that shows how to use all these functions?

I tried to adapt what you showed to my system. So far, all attempts have 
resulted in syntax error or other error, mostly because I do not know 
what the commands actually do.

Here is what I have - it prints the NoteNames as S R G M P D and N as 
defined in the newnames variable. For the range of notes from low G to 
high G, it prints P D N S R G M P D N S R G M P. What I would like to 
see printed is: p  d  n  S  R  G  M  P  D  N  s̊  r̊  g̊  m̊  p̊ [where the 
higher octave notes have a dot on top].
