Line 1:
The '''Parsons code''' is a simple notation used to identify a song through [[melodic motion]]—the motion of the [[pitch (music)|pitch]] up and down. The code was developed by [[Denys Parsons]] for his 1975 book, ''The Directory of Tunes and Musical Themes''. Representing a melody in this manner makes it easy to index or search for particular songs.
