==The code==

The first note of a melody is denoted with an [[asterisk]] (*), although some Parsons code users omit the first note. All succeeding notes are denoted with one of three letters to indicate the relationship of its pitch to the previous note:

*<nowiki>*</nowiki> = first tone as reference ,

*ru = "repeat,up", if the note is thehigher same pitch asthan the previous note,

*<nowiki>*</nowiki> = first tone as reference

*ud = "up,down", if the note is higherlower than the previous note,

*dr = "down,repeat", if the note ishas the same lowerpitch thanas the previous note.

*r = "repeat," if the note is the same pitch as the previous note
