So I figured while working on stuff I would post about it maybe someone some day will be interested in it.
So studying two things right now. Note as I study other things the post will just grow.
1. Music notation itself
2. Interval type
notes starting on bottom line of treble clift are basicaly
E G B D F on the lines
F A C E between the lines.
all together just starts in order and goes E, F, G, A, B, C, D and then starts over above or behind the main music lines
However, while I only do it to sometimes check work for someone not wanting to learn music you might use something like this web page:
https://www.dcode.fr/music-sheet
The other thing I am working interval type also has a web page you can check your work for simple intervals (don’t have one for compound but just remember its octave + simple and you will be fine).
https://www.omnicalculator.com/other/music-interval
I will add practice examples in next post for intervals and you can use the website to grade them.

Use the website to grade answers and I will provide answers and a cheat sheet as well so you know what intervals are. I normally at this point look at what they are and try to find them as I am learning music and intervals at same time so its slow exercise that takes good amount of time.
The first one they Use P for Perfect so basically you put if its perfect, major, minor etc.. Down a few posts I will show how I did it.

here is the sheet you would use to answer the questions. Mind you this is not the answers themselves I will post in next reply.
yes Step and 1/2 step I refer to them as whole step and half step also sometimes tone and semi tone.
I guess what was confusing in my answers I named the 1.5 steps I did not put the word steps in there. I should have for example labeled it.
“[A- to C- steps = 1.5] and the interval name is minor third”
I know interval in non-music terms means how far something is; so I used it loosely and then also used it again when talking about the specific name of the musical interval. Good catch! and poor labeling by me.
Your right that is confusing. I get excited when typing and sharing information like a little kid and that translates to communicating like a kid at times doh!!!! :X
dang it fail sauce!!! I suck haha!
P.S. I would go fix it but you can only edit for a set amount of time.
Also I had sent you a question that was a giant wall of text about Intervals and why they wanted me to memorize it in certain positions I think I figured that out on my own so can ignore if like.
Here is some Ear Training with Intervals from book
Later might move all this stuff to word document edit all mistakes and and redo forums post where its all tidy but still learning to use forums here and ideas how to share. So sorry about all the stuff that may not be as straight forward. I am a research beast that goes hours each day but its very raw. I always call myself the a caveman meaning not as refined as probably should be for a intellectual and I have more of a pickaxe approach with brute strength and sheer amount of time and tenacity.
ok now I see how this is beneficial!!!
E -1.5-> G -2.5-> C
So within the pattern look at what you have you know you need major 3rd and you know you need minor third for a primary non dim or aug triad.
No matter how you do this G is never going to be a 1.5 step (minor) or a 2 step (major from C or vice versus. So you move on. You see E is never going to work as a root with C as well.
However, you see that C–1.5 steps–>C is a minor 3rd and then its easy to see that E–2 steps–>G is a major 3rd and you know a minor 3rd and a major 3rd make a major triad so this is C major.
So you can identify triad that way if you was using some three chord triad but not sure what it was and wanted to create others to have a chordal melody but you was creatively having a block that you could remedy with music theory.
So anyway this is a example of a First inversion with the (3rd in the bass)
below is a few examples could analyze if wished including the one I did.
Btw I am use to running two monitors so will normally have “realguitar” page up or one of my theory books on left monitor and then on right monitor I throw up reference material. Here is my current reference material I have up about 99% of the time. Granted the list changes as I learn things or read them or make a note to my self. one change I did was start thinking about the intervals in half steps instead of like whole steps + half steps.
The reason why is its easier to remember because its sequential and even for a person like me who cannot do math in their head that well even I can divide by 2. So just take half steps and divide by two and left over is half steps if you need that info. Much easier to memorize this way I have found.
The other is the circle of 5ths but I will be honest as I learn theory & “practice it daily” I rely a bit less on circle of 5ths. Also remember a 5th is called the perfect 5th and is 7 half strep or divide by 2 and you have 3.5 whole steps so you have most of it either way! So now instead of just looking at a circle of 5ths because you understand intervals you can create your own anytime you want!!!
I am now going over intervals and triads in my other three music books once I am done getting all the different authors perspectives and utilizing this method as a study tool as well doing all their quizzes and practice I will start on harmonization of the major chord basically following the topics blow then read and redo them all again in my other three music theory books.
