About Numbered Notation

Numbered Notation (also called Jianpu, 简谱) writes each melody note as a number from 1 to 7 instead of a note on a staff. The number shows the note's position in the song's scale -- not its exact pitch -- so the same tune looks identical no matter what key it's sung in.

Within one octave, the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 correspond to the familiar do re mi fa sol la ti. A dot above a number raises it an octave higher; a dot below lowers it an octave lower -- no dot means the middle, as-written octave.

A plain number lasts one beat. A dash (-) right after a number holds that same note for one more beat. A line underneath a number shortens it instead -- one line is half a beat, two lines a quarter of a beat. A 0 is a rest: silence for one beat.

The label at the top of the sheet, like "1=C" or "1=Ab", shows which pitch scale degree 1 ("do") is tuned to. A song in a minor key is labeled "6=X" instead -- scale degree 6 ("la") is the true tonic. Chord names printed above the notes (like "C" or "G7") always use their familiar letter names, never numbers.

For example, under a "1=C" heading, the numbers 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 sound as C D E F G A B. Under a "1=G" heading, those very same numbers sound as G A B C D E F# instead -- same shape, different key.

Emmanuel, Emmanuel

This song came to my mind today. Its one that was around in the days of the 1970's expression of praise and thanksgiving.

May I respond to a comment made by Pam in Dec 2019. The lyrics as they stand are intentional as they refer to the scriptures and the ancient prophesy, one of many, concerning the birth of Messiah, Jesus Christ. Emmanuel in the Jewish language this is ' Immanu EL' translated as 'God is with us ' The Name is referred to in Matthew's gospel 1 : 23.

Didn't the original words of this hymn state as follows:

"God with us, revealed in Jesus Christ", instead of :

God with us, revealed in us?

Thanks for anyone who remembers it that way speaking up.

Thank you for posting these lyrics. I have woke up two mornings in a row with the music going thru my head but couldn’t find the words. Now I have them to go with the tune in my mind. Thanks.
