This is extremely confusing! I am trying to make sure i practice the right stuff. That is the reason is am spending so much time cross referencing the exercises with the summary and the videos. I am starting to get tired of doing this and will soon just ignore the videos and the written exercises and only work using the summary using the intervalic script, if that is the right thing to do. But i do not know if i can trust the summary anymore. I have spent the whole weekend trying to figure this out.

I made a mistake when i said video 4 and 9 did not match summary 4. I meant to write exercise 4 and 9 in video 6 do not match summary item 4. I watched again the exercise 4 from the video (which is the repeat exercise under exercise #2 in the workbook) and exercise 9 from the video (which is repeat exercise under exercise #5 in the workbook) at time 23’48”
and this is clearly Lower Chromatic tone for 5 and diatonic neighboring tone for 1, yet the summary says CH NT for 1 and 5.

As far as the video 11, i made the same mistake as above: i meant to refer to exercise 11 in video 6 entitled Upper NT for 3 and b7 (ascending). This exercise did not find its way in the summary and is numbered #7 in the workbook.

Exercise 11 and 20 from the video were only shown ascending. (not a big deal but thought i would mention it to be thorough)

Thanks for the quick reply. You are right, you can’t please everyone! But i just wanted to stress that i am nevertheless very pleased with the course. Leaving this way is fine with me. It is probably not worth spending time to add the standard notation. The summary pages starting on page 31 sums them-up very well and i have no issue whatsoever with the Intervalic script notation. I only need to adjust reading scale tones instead of a note and i can see the value of this vs thinking in terms of notes.

thanks again for the excellent course and thanks for sharing your knowledge!
