• Hold, Pause, Coda... 2.

    From Ardith Hinton@1:153/716 to James Bradley on Wed Jun 9 23:56:15 2010
    Hi again, James! This is a continuation of my previous message to you:

    the first part of a "carcass" to hit the bedspread
    when calling it 'the caboose "end"'.


    Okay. Rear end, derrière, caboose, coda.... :-)



    The "beginning of the end", is precisely the time-line
    I was trying to impart.


    And that's what I thought you meant originally.... :-)



    I forget the Italian term for a pause in music, (I can
    only rack my brain for one indication for one, despite
    your recalling six.)


    I imagine you probably mean a "fermata", AKA as a "hold" or "bird's eye". There are "railroad tracks" (//) & the "Grand Pause" (G.P.) as well. I suppose "railway tracks" would bring the total to six. At first I thought you were either giving me more credit than I deserve or using hyperbole... [grin].



    it would seem Nora is allotted one before you get on
    with the phrases/phases that finish "the piece"/night.


    Exactly. And once we arrive home, it may take some time to get her settled before we consider when (or how) to contact our own bedspread.... :-)
