I too keep toying with the aidea of a 'myusical conlang'. Ive developt
the basics of a phonology for it - cant remember at the moment wether
Ive postid them to the list befor or not. Ah yes, found it:
http://listserv.brown.edu/archives/cgi-bin/wa?A2=ind0309C&L=conlang&P=R20245
The basics:
- western 7-note scale;
- relativ pitch matterz, not absolute pitch;
- a beat is the eqwivalent of a sillable;
- there can be up to 4 notes in a beat, and their relativ lengths
within the beat dont matter.
