<<In France, they seem to refer to notes not by letters - C, G etc - but by
the sol fa scale. So C is always "do", F is "fa", D is "ré" etc. And Eb is
"Mib"
So... does that mean if a tune is in, say, G, the tune is in "so", and the
fourth degree of the scale, which is C, is therefore referred to as "do",
even though logically (in our logic) it should be "fa"?>>
Yes. It is not a "moveable do". So do is always C, re is always D, etc. Same
thing in other European countries which use this system and in Mexico, where
I live, and where I have to be careful not to confuse "C" with "si"!
