Talk:Tongan music notation

I do not think that is an improvement over . Maybe it is more correct now, but it was never intended to be a playable piece of music in the first place. Now with the timesignature added and the sharp removals: irrelevant, distracting details have been added, and the real things which were to be shown are unclearer than they were before. --Tauʻolunga 08:09, 30 September 2006 (UTC)

I have uploaded a new version, generated so that the time signature and key signature removals have been removed. Martinkb ^☎ 15:05, 1 October 2006 (UTC)

"Tongan music from the pre-European times was not really music in the current sense but rather a non tonic recital (like the 'pater noster'), a style still known nowadays as the tau fakaniua. Therefore when the missionaries started to teach singing, they had also to start with music from scratch."

I don't know anything about Tongan music but this seems wrong to me... There is not such thing as "music in the current sense" . Maybe someone more knowledgable should write something about pre-european Tongan music and how European music changed it? —Preceding unsigned comment added by 76.117.0.125 (talk) 16:17, 26 September 2008 (UTC)

Example

I'd like to see an example of some music written using the Tongan music notation. 64.85.229.248 (talk) 05:27, 4 February 2010 (UTC)
