Yeah, its a poor 8th that has lost his arms Razz

But, nah.. I dont know. It cant be halfnotes either since its two of them in one bar Razz

But do you got a full bar??? Then its not to hard to determine. Or is it just like this in the very first bar, and then the notes are Normal ??

well either way they're not really correct, but if you can show us a picture of the entire bar we could probably figure it out. ^_^

I made a jpg of it:

I have no idea what it is, but as I though, the sheet didnt consist of these dots. And I know this song, and the first note in this piece is the D, so I would just forget about those dots Smile

They dont got nothing to do there Razz

hehe

About the first picture posted on the topic I don't know, but for this last one I have the answer =)
See, right below the dots there's the word "ranges", so the dots are there simply to show what are the lowest and highest notes used in the song. (an octave, from D to D)
I've never seen this kind of notation on any regular sheet music before, must be some made up thing for beginners...
