Hmm....I don't know what to do here:

C Db C B (nat.) C - high C

It is a turn (a kind of ornament).

Play it like so:

As Michael has already pointed out,

[sissco]

Haha to late bernhard, to late  Thanks guys.... But I don't see the logic here of that symbol   

[bernhard]

If you look at the "contour" of the note´s heads, it is the same as the symbol (most ornaments symbols follow this principle).

Best wishes,
Bernhard,

Where are you all finding these symbols?  Are they on this forum?

Er.. I am not sure I understand your question.

This the standard symbol for a turn, you will find it on the scores that use them (e.g. Chopin´s Nocturne op. 9 no. 2 as above).

If you mean a reference book that wiil have these symbols, a good introduction is

Lloyd Watts & Bigler - "Ornamentation: A question and answer manual" (Alfred).

Best wishes,
Bernhard.

Hi Berhard,
  What I meant in asking where do you get the symbols from,  I meant electronically.
I am a monthly subscriber - but haven't figured out how to use anything with my somewhat new software yet.  I have sibelius software that I'm learning slowly but surely.
   Does this forum provide a way to do this (putting a passage of music up in a post) and then asking a pointed question about it.

Yes.

Write down in your notation software (or scan) the picture you want to paste. Copy and paste it in “Paint” as a JPG file.

Then register in a site that hosts pictures (I use photobucket - just google it). Follow the instructions in the site and transfer your file to the site (it is free). It will attach an URL (web address) to it.

Then when you post, copy the URL in between [ img] and [ /img] like so:

[ img]URL[ /img]

(in the post, this line will appear as the picture)

I believe that is what you are asking.

Best wishes,
Bernhard.
