Writing intervals
Writing a note a given interval above another: the letter first, then the accidental that makes the semitones right.
Letter first, then the sign
To write an interval above a note, use the same two steps the other way round:
- Count up the letter names for the number. A 6th above F is D (F, G, A, B, C, D).
- Choose the accidental that gives the right number of semitones. A minor 6th is 8 semitones. F up to D is 9, so lower it: D flat.
