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.

Encouragement For Trusting the Lord

New Songs732
 
Why do you stand alone?
Why are you so withdrawn?
Open to Him, be not afraid,
The Lord will take care of you.
 
Why do you fear your future
Will only be filled with pain?
You’re in His hands, trust in His plans.
He will take care of you.
 
He loves you more than you know.
Open to Him, just let go
Of all your fears, of all your cares.
Let Him love you. His heart is good toward you.
Trust and believe.
 
You’re a child in God’s economy,
Predestinated, chosen, His bride-to-be.
How could He not prepare the best for you?
Let Him love you. His heart is good toward you.
Trust and believe.
 
He loves you more than you know.
Open to Him, just let go
Of all your fears, of all your cares.
Let Him love you. He will take care of you.
Trust and believe.

"Why do you fear your future?" this is my take away line for me, no doubts God has us in His arms. we need to see first and then trust and believe that His plan for us is summatively and conclusively the best. thereafter eternity will explain the things which to us do not add up. May the Lord build such a confidence in us to fully trust and believe. Amen.
