I've been scratching my head as a way to write down #Solresol efficiently.

The following works by accenting letters based on their chromatic distance from the next, so that in every two syllables, the second sound is present merely as an accent to the first.

This plays on the particularity of Solresol of being written entirely with only 7 characters, so that with 3 diacritics placed above a letter to represent the distance of a higher note, and below for a lower note.

Solresol written partly using Shavian characters with diacritics.

@neauoire wait ... you mean it's not just a funny convention to write notes ? it's a transcription of some encoding of concepts into tri-notes so that people who can't speak can actually speak to others without having to rely on complex **ERTY keyboards or handscripts ?

@neauoire I'm discovering solresol with your post and it is super-interesting. Thank you!
