Inthelows--what is FACE..more music software?? I am always interested in making life easier to find that elusive note

Looking at staff paper, in treble clef, the notes that go in the four spaces between the five lines are, from bottom to top, F, A, C, and E.

I think it's a reference to the notes of the spaces on the treble clef, low to high.

How about:
 
Great
Bassists
Deserve
Furious
Applause
 
Bradley

The lines in bass clef, bottom to top!

Oh dear how obvious what a chump I am not to recognise that! and me with all my Royal Schools of Music Theory grades.
for Bass
Good Boys Deserve Favours Always
All Cows Eat Grass
For treble
Every Good Boy Deserves Favour
F A C E

Just be grateful that you're not forced to read with the C clef - wherever they put it.

Ah yes the C or Alto clef..mainly seen in church organ music(St Siens, Widor etc)

Or cello parts.

I thought they changed to the bass stave unless they are really manuscripts

old manuscripts I meant to add

Back in the days when I sang in a choir, I had to transpose a lot mentally because of having perfect pitch (besides a lousy singing voice) and because I can't translate notes on a score to relative intervals. That's kind of like singing with a C clef - you get some funny incidentals. (Plus you have to keep up with the rest of the a capella choir as they inevitably go down in pitch.)

I am familiar with all three clefs, I just really need to crack down and practice reading them. That?s one of my main reasons for the on-line course. I am not one to squander money, so I know I?ll practice my reading via the course if for no other reason that not to waste money. Besides that it may be fun, we?ll see.

Nobody in Pentecost reads music (I ordered the Real Book, and I'm going to learn), its basically just a root note (often expressed in flats-- 1 flat == F, 2 flats == Bb, etc,), and you better be able to hear (and predict) the changes.

I hear you Bradley.  
When I play at our church that's about all they have. And they seem to always be in Bb or Eb.  
And you're right about hearing the changes. Sometime we get hand singals.
