Notes on stoplists: Information in square brackets, [], denotes the source of the stops, either from a different division or perhaps from an electronic source. Information in squiggly brackets, {}, include information about the range of a stop on the keyboard, or the borrowing of pipes from another rank of pipes. For example,{TC} would indicate that the stop begins at Tenor C and has only 49 notes as opposed to the normal 61. {12} would indicate that 12 additional pipes were provided for the top or bottom octave, while the rest were borrowed from another rank of pipes within this division. If the borrowed rank is from another division it will be indicated with []. As is usual the pitch of the stop is indicated with the normal footage indicator, where the footage approximates the length of the lowest pipe in a rank of open pipes. Closed pipes like Gedeckts or Bourdons would be 1/2 this length. 8′ pitch is the normal pitch such as we would associate with a piano, where the A above middle C is 440Hz.
