Excerpt from The Shining Light: A Varied Collection of Sacred Songs for Sabbath Schools, Social Meetings and Home Circle

The peculiar system of notation used in this book is of modern date, being the invention of J. B. Aiken, in the year 1847. Its special advantage over round notes consists in representing each note of the scale by a distinct character. Hence, the reading of notes is greatly simplified, and the learner finds no difficulty in singing by note in any of the keys; and this shape A (do) is the keynote, Wherever found upon the staff. (for a table representing the shapes and names of the scale series, see Opposite page)
