Cool.
...but Q e E W? What's the code?
I believe they represent the length of notes
W is whole
Q is quarter
E is eighth
a is acciaccatura
. note dotted
+ noted tied to the previous
uncaplitized letters are stacatto
But I don't understand how you play
the notes in brackets
or what acciaccatura means
Meaning of ACCIACCATURA
Pronunciation: â`châku'tûru
Definition: [n] an embellishing note usually written in smaller size
Definition: Ac*ciac`ca*tu"ra, n. [It., from acciaccare to
crush.] (Mus.)
A short grace note, one semitone below the note to which it
is prefixed; -- used especially in organ music. Now used as
equivalent to the short appoggiatura.

The notes in brackets are'nt played at all they are just a continuation of the previous played note as in a half or whole note.
Be excellent to each other & party on dudes!
