  4. Here are four very different subreddits that I created.

    1.
    Old Opera
    This is a subreddit for those who love, or are even curious about, opera and its singers from the 1950's and earlier. Feel free to ask questions, share reviews and links, and discuss this wonderful genre of music and the singers and composers who brought it to life. Everyone, from beginners to experts, is welcome.

    reddit.com/r/OldOpera/

    2.
    Blind and Fine
    If you want to join apositive subreddit for the blind, try r/BlindandFine. The subject matter is far less strict than at r/blind, since not everything needs to be related to blindness. This is more of a place where we can get to know each other and have fun. We allow sighted people to join as well, and we welcome questions about blindness if they are genuine, requests for feedback on surveys or technology about/for the blind, etc. However, I do ask that you join only if you are eighteen or older. Please also note that this is not a therapy/support group. If you need that, then r/blind is for you. I am not an administrator there, only of Blind and Fine.

    This is the place to talk about tv dinners and other frozen foods.

  12. There is an article on the #wiki about #form (still a draft):
    musicgames.wikidot.com/wiki:fo

    It covers structure of both #music and #boardgames and holds two print-and-play decks of cards for form which in our case is marked with:
    - letters for repeated parts,
    - apostrophes for variation,
    - parentheses for optional repetition.

    A question for #composers #musicTheory or #musicology people:
    Do you know some common reused and describable forms, that may be notated like that? We need a lot!
