1. First and foremost, it's not nearly familiar enough (to use my ad hoc terminology from above) not to require a legend. If you like, I can further elaborate on all the seeming inconsistencies, ambiguities or unfamiliarities I see, but that can wait for now, and in the remaining points I'll stick to a couple of obvious ones. If you provide a more detailed explanation, I could comment it.
2. You use the r with caron (ř) quite a bit. Now, this is letter that AFAIK only occurs in Czech, and represents a sound (some sort of cross between a fricative and a trill that I genuinely don't understand as of yet) that also occurs pretty much only in Czech. Is that the sound you intend? It seems to be leaps and bounds away from everything else as far as ease of pronunciation goes, in that case.
3. You use multiple letters quite a bit (from two to nearly fifteen). My guess is that it represents in writing the rhythms you intend... is it going to look like that in the score? If not, it's hard to see from your current text which doublings (and more) mean something and which don't.
4. There's an asterisk in there. Mistake?

thanks for pointing all that out.
1. I totally forgot to put a legend down at the bottom, the asterisk I stuck in there to help me remember (but I totally forgot to put it in there anyway!)
2. The 'R' with the Caron to me represented a rolled R sound, I was going to put that in the legend.
3. The multiple letters just helped remind me where to put the longer notes, it means absolutley nothing and in the score it's just single letters.
*HOWEVER* I DID put a few double letters (e.g. aa and ii) which gives a different sound, also to be put int he legend.
4. The asterisk was there to help me remember that a) I need to put a legend and b) the word "ske" which the asterisk was beside I wanted to sound more like "ska" or a "skae" sound.
thanks for pointing all that out!
