Grilles in Solfege

periclimenes

Lately, I have seen quite a few websites with charts in solfege, which kind of blew my mind. Something like this:

Twelfth Year (key of Re):

Re 6/9 % Mi7 % La7 % Re 6/9

Ti 7 % Mi7 % La7 % Re 6/9

Is this just a French thing? Is it common in Europe? The interesting thing is that many people seem to be using a fixed do, so that has really been hurting my brain. Just curious...

Definitely more common in Europe...I have a whole gypsy jazz fake book someone in France (I think) wrote out in solfege...very confusing if you're not used to it.

Jack,
Really?? cool! I'd love to see that- it makes working with people who change keys (like singers!) easy!
