    In Spanish is “fa”, didn’t knew it was different on other languages.

      Are you sure? Fa is normally (by sheer coincidence) F. The note here is B.

      Or in other terms, Fa is normally up a perfect fourth from Do/C. This note is up a major seventh (or down a minor second).

      This screenshot:

      From near the end of this Spanish-language video seems to agree that Spanish is no different from French and Italian, and only differs from English wrt “si/ti”. Which makes sense, since it all goes back to an old Latin hymn.

        I learned it in school as “do re mi fa sol la si”, but I’m not musician, so maybe I read the image wrong.

          Yeah what you learnt there is correct. The note being pointed to was a 7th up from the note it explained is “do”. Which makes it “si”, often in English also called “ti”.

              Oh, right.

              Um, yeah. That puzzle would have been especially hard if you can’t read music! That aspect of the problem genuinely did not ever even occur to me.
