Dear list,
I think that the french translation off "st" in "4st solo in C major" is "quatri�me"?
2. Do you write 4st or 4ST?
3. Why not using 4th instead of 4st?
Thanks for your english responses.
Pierre.
Pierre en anglais le <st> n'est que pour 1st
<nd> est utilis� pour 2nd
<rd> est utilis� pour 3rd
<th> est pour 4th, 5th, 6th, 7th, etc:
c'est probablement un erreur de la part d'un �diteur qui ne connait pas les r�gles d'anglais. Tes premi�res impressions sont correct.

I'm sure Gregory is right about "4st". Those things are hard to keep track of.
This subject actually comes at the perfect time (coincidence?) I am preparing some text in French with the help of the software Antidote (spelling, dictionary, grammar in French) and I need to refer to both the "fourth note" and the interval of a fourth.
In English they are the same, and I know that the French abbreviation of a series is 2e, 3e, 4e, etc., but Antidote won't let me use 4te for the interval of a 4th (quarte). Is 4te actually the correct abbreviation? And what do you use for the interval of a 7th (septi�me), is it 7e, same as the series? What about octave (huiti�me sounds wrong to my ear)?
Are the abbreviations 4�me, 5�me, etc., never used in proper French?
Please remember that I am in Quebec, where there may be slight variations from European usage.
Thanks
Christopher
