I read in that Gajewski book that Solresol could be transmitted by knocking on something, where 1 hit means 'do', two hits = 're' etc. 7 hits = si.
It's obvious, that a conversation could take a while this way. "sidosi", one single word, would require you to knock 15 times...
So, why not use a variant of morse code (if you have the means to produce distinguishable long and short signals)? The original morse numbers are all formed by combinations of 5 short or long signals... to lengthy, so here's my proposal.
Using "." for short signal and "_" for long signal
do = .
re = _
mi = . .
fa = . _
sol = _ .
la = _ _
si = . . .
This way, you can produce one syllable with 3 knocks at most, which is way more efficient than the original code for knocking Solresol.
Example: dore sidosi la solresol. (I know, how creative that sentence is!
)
Old: . .. / ....... . ....... / ...... / ..... .. .....
New: . _ / ... . ... / __ / _. _ _.
And this finishes my simple proposal.
