Dear Members of the List,

Where can I find a good, concise and understandable explanation of the sāmavedic musical notation?

I found some rather brief or cryptic comments on the matter in Renou's "Inde classique" § 547-548 and Burnell (Introduction to the Ārṣeya Brāhmaṇa, p. xxvi-xxvii), but these are not sufficient for my purpose (which is to give the best possible answer to a student's question).

This doesn't need to be exhaustive. A good and simple description of the Jaiminīya's way, for example, would be enough.

Thanks in advance,

F. Voegeli
