"As many composers - both professional and amateur - know, musical ideas can be quickly lost if not written down promptly. This shorthand system allows the melody to be written down quickly, without requiring special paper or even an instrument. The composer can then later work with the melody, timing, and harmony, still using this key-independent notation, before creating the finished version in the desired key in conventional notation."

ASIAN / MIDDLE EASTERN HISTORY. AUSTRALIAN. This author is a Western Australian forester who late in his career became involved in the development of Indian sandalwood plantations in the Ord River Irrigation Area in the Kimberley region of WA. This led to a review of early writings on sandalwood and to the discovery of a wounderful journal: The Indian Forester, the complete volumes of which, dating back to 1875, he found located within the archives of the Department of Environment and Conservation Library. Delving into these volumes, Roger Underwood realised that he had discovered a treaseure trove of fascinating stories about the pioneering foresters in India during the time of the Raj... But more than that he discovered that a forest management model had been developed in India in those days that was later picked up and applied holus-bolus in Australia and other countries.
