For lower octave notes their will be a symbol ( a dot ) behind the note ex- lower Ni is denoted as  .N

For middle octave notes there will no symbols, example – middle octave Pa is denoted as  P

For higher octave notes there will be a symbol in front of the note, for example, higher octave Re is denoted as R’

In flute we can produce P D N of the lower octave, S R G M P D N of the middle octave and S R G M P of the higher octave “ easily”.

The symbol ‘ > ‘ means that we have to extend the note behind that symbol.

In some cases if we want to make groups in a bunch of notes then we will put a comma (,) for those notes.

For example-   .P.D.N, .D.NS, .NSR, SRG, RGM, GMP
