Antidote is a very good program for general french, but it does lack some when you get into technical terms, as in music. You have to teach it to accept those terms which aren't in it's dictionary.

Looking up a very old French theory book (Théroie de la musique par A. Danhauser) which hasn't been opened in ages, found the following abbreviations for intervals:

Second: Seconde: 2de
Third: Tierce: 3ce
Fourth: Quarte: 4te
Fifth: Quinte: 5te
Sixth: Sixte: 6te
Seventh: Septième: 7me
Octave: 8ve

7th (septième), is it 7e, same as the series?

sounds ok to me.

What about octave (huitième sounds wrong to my ear)?

8ve looks like the right choice for an abbrev.


Thanks so much for that! Antidote (the software) doesn't seem to like it, though. I'll use it anyway.
