OK, I see what you mean now. Thanks. I have looked on your site, and
found the section on modality. The notation used is not one that can
read at sight. I think it is some sort code that can be put into a
program and then be written in regular staff notation. Am I correct on
this and do you have a link on your site that will provide this
software to translate these tunes into staff notation?
I will be looking for this book by Kodaly. If you are in need of any
of his educational uses of this material, don't hesitate to ask.

Thanks,
