To the lowest note of this scale, which was foreign to the

Greek system, he gave a special name, _gamma_, after the

Greek letter G. From this we get our word for the scale,

the gamut. The other notes remained the same as before, only

that for the lowest octave capital letters were used; in the

next octave, the notes were designated by small letters, and

in the last octave by double letters, aa, bb, etc., as in the

following example.

[F: g, g G: a g' | a' g'' ]

[W: Capitals. : Small letters | Double or very small letters]
