Naming convention

No, this thread has nothing to do with a big group of people choosing baby names or any such



My question is:

What case of letters (upper or lower) are used when describing which notes are in a particular tuning?


My question is a little unclear; perhaps an example:
So, i've got a uke in standard (high g) tuning. Do we say that it is tuned GCEA or gCEA or Gcea or what?

If there is one 'right' way, why is it the right way?


I'd like to be able to describe both the tuning (C, D, Bb) and note arrangement (high g/re-entrent, low g/linear) in one set of four letters.

High G is often written as Gcea

Thanks Mike.

It is confusing, though. I have also seen high-g as written gCEA.

Is there a way to indicate low-g using these four letters?

High G re-entrant is written gCEA

Low G is written GCEA
