Incipits are stored in the database in Oxford (1234567) format. Someone has suggested that do-re-me format is also popular/important for searching and familiarity. We can add do-re-me support fairly easily:
1. on tune page, show the first few notes of the incipit in do-re-me form. E.g. "do do ti re fa sol fa re". I'm not sure what the right number of notes to show is -- whatever fits nicely on one line, but at least 7 or so?
2. in the search widget, detect strings of do-re-me and perform incipit search.
3. in the brief incipit search instructions which (should) appear once the incipit radio button is clicked, mention that you can use 123 or do-re-me format.
This task is low priority.

re-think incipits
We need to re-think handling of incipits now that we have XML files of many of the tunes.
