comment What is the name of the interval Db - D#?
My understanding is that Db->Eb is a major second, not a minor third.

I'd +1 this one, but I'm not 100% sure.

comment Is solfege systems octave-agnostic?
Helmholtz-like [scientific pitch notation][en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Scientific_pitch_notation] should be unambiguous and suitable for programming. The only other form I've seen are things like c' =middle c, c'' = c above middle c, and c,, = three c's below middle c.

comment Physiological basis for note durations?
I'm also interested if the idea of fixed note durations has cropped up in non-Western musical traditions.

@filzilla I suspect my question didn't convey my intent very well, but I'll look into the "Psychology of Music".

This is all pretty conceptual and some artists and composers may take both of these views over time, but it can be kept objective if the focus is on writings that address this kind of concept.

In today's parlance; consider the range of durations that a quarter note can represent over the range of pieces in 4/4 time: anywhere from close to 2 seconds (or more) to much much less than 1 second. The way in which we "make a song go fast" is viewed as shortening all of the notes. An alternate "conception" would be that instead of shortening all of the notes, instead we making new notes by further dividing of given notes of fixed duration.

This question is more about the language/notation/concepts used to refer to music, rather than actual performance.

comment Is there a special way to notate a repeat for the right (treble) hand but not the left (bass) hand?
I've only seen them called "percent repeats", as in this: Lilypond example repeats

comment One at a time or all at once?
Sometimes I think that certain things just need time (not necessarily effort) to gel mentally/physically. You try something, put it aside for a while, and then, boom, when you come back to it, it seems much easier. So having many irons in the fire is a way to keep that up.
